Custom DNS Templates not working

[Imtek]

I have a problem with adding some custom template changed to my existing domains in DA.

I customized my dns_a.conf and dns_mx.conf in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom like:

dns_a.conf

|DOMAIN|.=|IP|
localhost=127.0.0.1
mail=|IP|
mail20=84.*.*.*
pop=|IP|
www=|IP|
ftp=|IP|

dns_mx.conf

mail=10
mail20=20

Then i did a rewrite with:
echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

After that no changes, it only works with new domains, how can i make it work for all my existing domains ?

Note: 84.*.*.* is displayed this way for privacy reasons.

It doesn't work for old domains; you'll have to write a script to change them.

Ok, thats a option DirectAdmin is still missing for people who want to globally change things after their domains is already added in DirectAdmin before this change.

Maybe John can create a little script for this, i saw a few topics about this matter on the forum and on other websites.

I will mail a request to John

Hello,

So imtek, did you find something ?

i'm lookign for a script that can reload all existing zones according to customized dns templates.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d400

confirmed

the rewrite action for "named" is not working .. the "httpd"-pendant is working as expected , also handeling existing domains properly ..

the named-rewrite simply doesnt rewrite anything at all ..
there are no errors in the da-logs

i would expect the named-routine to be as effective as the httpd-routine for adopting dns-entries

can development please take a look into this issue ?

thanks in advance

best regards

interresting detail: one of my "old" domains was modified as expected , but it was the only one .. all other have not been touched .. so i expect an error occoured but unlogged ..

@support: please have a look at this

Check for differences in the ownership and rights of the zone that was modified vs the ones that weren't.

Are they different?

i would vote this an expectable/important function on rewrite/named

To what function are you referring?

since only one domain has been modified by the template i have no other to compare it to .. and yes .. all domains belong to different users

 

[shanti]

To what function are you referring?

Jeff

the funktion that updating DNS-templates should result in updated zone-files according to the changes in the template .. like the way httpd-templates rewrite existing configs

 

[nobaloney]

For me updating the DNS templates DO result in changes in the zone files. But it's not automatic. You have to run this command to make it happen:

# echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

hmm .. so its a doublenegation .. of course it works for new domains , but compared to the httpd-function which DOES rewrite also existing configs correctly , the named-function doesnot .. in this case the way of how these functions work differs within ..

expected would be: the are both working on existing configs ..
