Sorry if this is one of those answers to a question you didn't ask. Sounds like your trying to manage zone files with cf-engine. Personally I don't think executing commands that would edit your zone files is very convergent. I mean you sure could put logic into your script and ensure its idempotent but to me it seems like a better idea to manage the entire zone-file and distribute it with cf-engine, either via a template or just as a flat-file. I suspect others would agree but I would like to see what they have to say. I haven't deployed cf-engine im still evaluating it but as I said to me it seems the best way would be to just manage the flat file. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
