So we have a little over 100 zones. Each of which has an identical "also-notify" line. This is because if you define an acl and put that in the also-nofity line it errors: Nov 4 21:59:51 kaus.usc.edu in.named[6652]: [ID 866145 daemon.error] /etc/named.conf:267: expected IP address near 'notifies' Is there an alternative way to do this, rather than having to update 104 lines when we need to update that list? Not that that can't be script in your favorite editor, but still... Bind9, Solaris 8 & 9, chroot, chmod, SPARC.
