Thanks for the ideas. <br><br>I was inclined to use the -s option but realized that the keys has to be distributed and maintained on controller host (the host from where we execute the rndc) causing security issues. Also we have to maintain a 1-1 mapping of DNSservers vs keys if each DNSserver has uses different rndc key.<br>
<br>Suggestions to use pdsh or other shells looks interesting but current environment restrictions is forcing me to think me about a script based solution...<br><br>thanks<br>Blr<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 4:29 PM, Eivind Olsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eivind@aminor.no">eivind@aminor.no</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Depends, really. rndc itself can work remotely, but that might not be an<br>
option in all networks.<br>
