lost all named files

[chatwizrd]

In a harddrive accident /var/named, /var/named/etc , /var/named/etc/namedb is missing all of its files.. Is there a way to repopulate this information using directadmin since all dns was managed through there.

A follow-up question would be.. how do i execute a selective restore from directadmin backup to get my named files out...

There should be only 2 things

config file: /etc/named.conf
*.db files in: /var/named/

To get the config back do

wget -O /etc/named.conf http://www.directadmin.com/named.conf
for i in `cat /etc/virtual/domains`; do { echo "zone \"$i\" { type master; file \"/var/named/$i.db\"; };"; }; done; >> /etc/named.conf

That script worked great to populate the main conf file, much appreciated.

Next try rewriting the zone files to get /var/named/*.db
