Bind 9.3.1 master with "stub" in-addr-arpa zones -> infoblox box

[mhageman]

Hi,

I work for a small division of a large company that has an Internal DNS
network.  We maintain a box running bind 9.3.1 at present to make DNS
information for some of our hosts available to the company network
(we're just a little division, we don't advertise much outside of our
own site).

My particular company is responsible for a Class B CDIR network, and
we've parsed out some address blocks to other divisions of the company
on Class C boundaries.  Our "company-Internal" DNS master uses stub
zones to delegate these to other site DNS servers - we're the master
for the Class B block.

We support four domain names, so we use scripts to do all updates on
our current server.

I am moving the Internal DNS server functions to an Infoblox
"appliance", but I want to keep the old server to script out DNS
changes and upload them to the Infoblox.  Problem:  the Infoblox
doesn't understand stub zones.  So I have to change my stubs to
"something else" to make the update/upload process simple.

I did not think this would be a problem, but I've tried everything in
the O'Reilly book for delegation other than using stubs and they are
the only thing I've ever gotten to work, even when delegation was first
set up several years ago..

Any help/comments appreciated.  The last time I consulted you folks you
got my mind right: hoping it will happen again.

Thanks,

Mary
