Is there a way using nsupdate to change a $origin directive in a
zone file?
Some months ago, I accidentally loaded a configuration
in to a DHCP server that registered a bunch of private-network
hosts having a domain name of WiFi-ATRC.osu. We really wanted
wifi-atrc.osu. Bind worked properly and placed $origin
directives in the osu zone. Since dig builds the FQDN out of
these, all names in that domain end in WiFi-ATRC.osu which
confuses members of our group when they look at a zone file for
any reason. Is there a way to make bind rewrite those $origin
directives using nsupdate or any other safe control means?
This certainly does not effect resolution but scripts
that do various things can sometimes get confused by the
Mixed-case names. I would be really happy if there was a way in
bind9.5 to force all names to lower case. I realize that the
bodies of .TXT records must preserve their case, but the names,
themselves, ignore case so let's have them all lower case.
