You could adopt the above method to produce the actual templatized output and then use named to verify it, but as others have said, distros are much better at letting you verify configs before restarting nowadays, and I'd probably push this there. In the past I tend to solve this with a canary node that implements the new configuration, and then out of band testing verifies that DNS is still working happily for critical infrastructure entries before before the configuration gets pushed to "live" name servers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
