GestioIP DNS Auto update sweeping through ranges twice?

[Ricky]

Hi Marc,
we are doing dns auto update once a day.
I was checking the audit log for information and saw what it seems to be a duplicate range search:

Fri May 27 15:45:12 2016 root auto dns net auto synch dns x192.168.167.0/24x
Fri May 27 15:44:04 2016 root auto dns net auto synch dns x192.168.166.0/24x
Fri May 27 15:41:52 2016 root auto dns net auto synch dns x192.168.166.0/23x

The range 192.168.166.0/23 is a rootnet that encompasses the other two.
Is this just informational or is the process running again in the smaller ranges?
Thank You

Ricky, have a look at the log files in /usr/share/gestioip/var/log.
There you find more information what the update script exactly has done.
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Marc.
Indeed it has run twice over the same range.

Well, I reported this because I think its something that could be improved.
The range crawler shouldnt check the same range twice. I think rootnets should be ignored in this process. Just my 2 cents.

Hi Ricky,
I agree. This will be fixed with the next actualization.
Thanks a lot.
