[webmin-devel] a question of customization

[Luke W. <lu...@ad...>]

I have a question regarding changing some of the DNS module in webmin.

when you create a new master zone, and leave the option "Records file" as 
automatic, it makes a file called "zonename.hosts" in the default directory 
specified in the named.conf.  I have been asked to change this to the naming 
convention we use here in our office "pri.zonename".

I have found it to be quite difficult as I am not much of a perl programmer, 
but have hacked a few things together in the past.

Now I found what I am guessing is the line in question in create_master.cgi, 
so I changed it from:

$in{'file'} = $base."/$in{'zone'}.hosts";

to:

$in{'file'} = $base."/pri.$in{'zone'}";

and:
$in{'file'} = $base."/pri.'$in{'zone'}'";

and have NFI - it still uses the filename "zonename.hosts" - I would have at 
least expected an error......

Also I have been asked to setup our DNS so that when someone enters in the 
master information on one server, it automatically creates the entries on the 
backup server, without having to do any more "clicking".  Any ideas about how 
to do this?

At the moment I have to go into the backup server and change the named.conf 
file to add in the requested entry :)

Thankyou,

Luke
