Removing DNS line from all files

[DJVG]

Hi All,

I added one extra DNS line (NS) before a datacenter move.
Now I want to remove that DNS line from all .db files.
I know how to remove a line with perl, but I have trouble removing the return after that line.

Is there a way to remove one line and the return?

Try this code instead of your Perl method:

/bin/sed -e '/[B]ns3.mydns.com[/B]/d' -i /var/named/*.db

Afterwards, you should run the following to rebuild the domain zonefiles:

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

Note: You must change ns3.mydns.com to match the server hostname of your extra NS record that you want removed.

Also ... I believe that extra blank lines in the zone files are not a problem. Look at the files in your shell and you'll see that there are plenty of them.
