dnsvi(1) Edit dynamic DNS zones using vi

SYNOPSIS

dnsvi [-l] [-k keyfile] [@nameserver] zone

DESCRIPTION

dnsvi is a frontend for nsupdate. Given a DNS zone name, it uses dig -t AXFR to get all the records in a zone. It then spawns your favorite editor, and upon completion, builds a list of "update add`` and ''update delete" statements to feed to nsupdate.

OPTIONS

-l
Use localhost as nameserver and pass -l (local) to nsupdate.
-k keyfile
Use keyfile for AXFR and nsupdate.
@nameserver
Query nameserver for zone data and send updates there.

ENVIRONMENT

EDITOR
Editor to use instead of sensible-editor.

EXAMPLE

 $ dnsvi -k dyn.df7cb.de.key @ns.df7cb.de dyn.df7cb.de
