Make changes en mass [done]

[Jeff Lightner]

I guess "[done]" was a key point of your subject.  Oh - well at least
its there for the archives.

If all your zones have same value (e.g. 604800) for expire and nothing
else matches that value in the files you could do it fairly easily with
a for loop and sed:

For example if all your zone files were named with a .com at end of
name:

for zonefile in `ls *.com` 
do sed -e s/604800/709600/ $zonefile >${zonefile}.new
   mv $zonefile ${zonefile}.old
   mv ${zonefile}.new $zonefile
done

The sed would find the 604800 in the zone file and replace it with
709600.  You then have it send the sed output to a file with same zone
name with .new appended.  You then save the original zone file (for
backout planning) and finally move the new zonefile over the original.

TEST THE ABOVE IN AN ALTERNATE LOCATION FIRST!!!

I used WinSCP and just select a bunch of files and edit command and 
copy/paste the "good' settings into the zone files.

-Thanks.
