Available Packages
Name : mkrdns
Version : 3.3
Release : 5.20210224gitf6e8414.el8
Architecture : noarch
Size : 35 k
Source : mkrdns-3.3-5.20210224gitf6e8414.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Automatic reverse DNS zone generator
URL : https://github.com/oasys/mkrdns
License : GPLv2+
Description : mkrdns automates the tedious procedure of editing both forward and reverse
: zones when making changes to your zones with likely no changes to your current
: configuration file.
:
: mkrdns does this by reading through all of the primary/secondary (master/slave)
: zones in your configuration file (either named.boot or named.conf). It will
: then automatically generate the reverse zone entries (IN PTR) for the networks
: for which you are the primary/master. It is now possible to simply edit the
: forward map, run mkrdns, and reload the zone. Clean, simple, and best of all,
: automatic.
:
: mkrdns also acts as a limited lint-like program, issuing warnings and errors if
: there are problems with your configuration or zone files.
