But for the script, I'll need the content of all my zones in all views. Zone transfers won't be very efficient for that. Until now I have experimented with the "-j" option from named-compilezone to take care of the journals. Though, I'm not sure this is much more efficient. Another option I evaluated was "rndc sync", but it isn't available on bind 9.8 But your reply made me think of yet another solution. "rndc dumpdb -zones" gives me the latest content of all zones of all views in a single file. And, luckily, it uses the "full" style :) So this should be fine for me. But before I try to re-invent the wheel: Does anyone know if there is already a parser for multiple zone_files/zone_dumps/zone_transfers? I'm trying to filter all DNS records that are related to a given host/ip?
