Begin3 Title: dnsutl Version: 1.12 Entered-date: 20MAY2012 Description: The dnsutl package is a collection of tools to make administering DNS easier. The tools include: dns-rev: Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the reverse mapping. dns-hosts: Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the /etc/hosts file. dns-ng: Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the /etc/netgroup file. dns-ethers: By using a bogus record type, you can keep the MAC address with the IP address, and generate the /etc/ethers file. dns-bootp: Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the /etc/bootptab file. dns-bootparams: Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the Sun /etc/bootparams file. All of these programs are both faster than shell scripts, and more robust when faced with all the peculiar semantics of DNS resource files. They even understand the $include directive. The dnsutl package runs on almost any flavor of UNIX. Self configuring using a GNU Autoconf generated configure script. There are no modifications required to compile it for Linux.
