/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.
