Dear ALL,

Could you advice me what is the good way to manage large dns record in zone file? I'm using bind v9, currently I need to add around 20 000 hostname  but it is a pain to put them in one single file.

There's $INCLUDE zone directive in bind zone file, read more in bind
docs.
Hope this helps.

You mean a large number of records, not a large single record?

In what way is it a pain? I assume you do not type them by hand :-)
What's the problem with writing a ten-lines script to convert from the
data base where the names currently are to the BIND zone file format?
