Migrating from BIND to PowerDNS

Apr 27, 2008 in bind, migration, poweradmin, powerdns

PowerDNS comes with the tool zone2sql. With some bash scripting, you can save yourself a lot of work. For instance, it's really easy to migrate a bunch of reverse files.

for i in `ls /etc/bind | grep arpa`; do echo $i | awk -F
"db." {'system("zone2sql --gmysql --zone=/your/dir/db."$2"
--zone-name="$2)'} >> reverse.sql; done

This will create a nice .sql to import. Be sure to synchronize after the import if you're using PowerAdmin.
