Utility for importing complete BIND configuration file set into Sauron. This program parses BIND configuration files and generates new server and related zones into Sauron. See also the Section called Using Existing DNS/DHCP Configuration in Chapter 3.
import [--help] [OPTIONS] {servername} {named.conf file}
| option | description |
|---|---|
| --orphans=zonename | Zone for 'orphan' PTR record hosts. |
| --notransaction | Do not use transactions when updating database (potentially dangerous, but speeds up things). |
| --dir=directory | Directory where configuration files are located (if not in the directory specified in named.conf). |
| --verbose | Make program to display more verbose output. |
By default import expects to find zone-files in the locations specified in the named.conf, but --dir option can be used to explicitly specify location for zone-files. After importing server from existing BIND configuration, related DHCP configuration should be imported using import-dhcp command.
