Creates a BIND server database and populates it with records from the local host and MX databases. This command will create either a forward translation file or a reverse translation file. If you specify a domain.name that ends in IN-ADDR.arpa, a reverse translation file is created. Related commands: SET HOST, SET MX_RECORD Format CONVERT/UNIX BIND /DOMAIN=domain.name [ /[NO]LOG ]
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /DOMAIN
/DOMAIN=domain.name Required. Domain for which to extract data. Determines whether to perform forward translation or reverse translation. The following restrictions and instructions apply: o The domain name must be fully qualified. o The closing dot is not required. o Do not use wildcards. o Specify up to four parts of the IP address for varying degrees of selectivity. For example: /DOMAIN=16.IN-ADDR.arpa is less selective. /DOMAIN=8.20.16.IN-ADDR.arpa is more selective. The end of domain.name determines whether a forward or reverse translation is performed. For example: o If the domain name ends in IN-ADDR.arpa: - Reverse translation is performed. - The domain is some part of an IP address, reversed, and added to IN-ADDR.arpa. - The selection includes the contents of the hosts database in the output. o If the domain name ends in anything else (for example, /DOMAIN=DAW.MAG.COM): - Forward translation is performed. - All hosts in domain.name or in any of its subdomains are selected for the output file. - CONVERT/UNIX BIND does a forward translation and selects hosts in DAW.MAG.COM and in its subdomains.
1.2 /LOG
/LOG /NOLOG Optional. Default: /NOLOG. Shows records as they are processed.
2 – Examples
1.TCPIP> CONVERT/UNIX BIND /DOMAIN=KESTREL.SMALL.FALCON On host KESTREL, creates a BIND server database with default file name SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]KESTREL_SMALL_FALCON.DB. BIND and MX records for the host's domain, kestrel.small.falcon, are extracted, converted, and written to KESTREL_SMALL_FALCON.DB. 2.TCPIP> CONVERT/UNIX BIND /LOG /DOMAIN=ABC.COM Creates a BIND server database. The /LOG qualifier indicates that records will be displayed as they are processed.
