Adding sud domain PTR record using DNSCMD?

[Claude Lachapelle]

I need to bulky adds PTR records under a reverse lookup zone which contain
sub domains:

10.100.in-addr-arpa
- 100
- 2
- 200
- 3
- 300

I tried:

/recordadd 100.10.100.in-addr.arpa 250 ptr record.domain.ca

but I'm getting

Command failed: DNS_ERROR_ZONE_DOES_NOT_EXIST 9601 (00002581)

I understand that I should specify 10.100.in-addr.arpa for the zone, but how
to specify the domain where I want to add the record???

Thanks.

Hi Claude,

All records are created relative to the zone. So the record has to be
250.100 to make 250.100.10.100.in-addr.arpa (for the IP 100.10.100.250).

dnscmd /RecordAdd 10.100.in-addr.arpa. 250.100 PTR record.domain.ca

If you actually have a zone for 10.100.x.x Subnet the zone name is
100.10.in-addr.arpa, and you would add 250.100 to that to make the entry for
10.100.100.250. Just in case it's really a private zone for a private IP
range rather than a public one :)

Thanks!

Now I'm looking for a way to create those sub domain records automatically
with dnscmd... since they are not zone, which kind of record they are?

Usage: DnsCmd <ServerName> /RecordAdd <Zone> <NodeName> [/Aging] [/OpenAcl]
[<Ttl>] <RRType> <RRData>

<RRType> <RRData>
A <IPAddress>
NS,CNAME,MB,MD <HostName|DomainName>
PTR,MF,MG,MR <HostName|DomainName>
MX,RT,AFSDB <Preference> <ServerName>
SRV <Priority> <Weight> <Port> <HostName>
SOA <PrimaryServer> <AdminEmail> <Serial#>
<Refresh> <Retry> <Expire> <MinTTL>
AAAA <Ipv6Address>
TXT <String> [<String>]
X25,HINFO,ISDN <String> [<String>]
MINFO,RP <MailboxName> <ErrMailboxName>
WKS <Protocol> <IPAddress> <Service> [<Service>]..]
KEY <Flags> <KeyProtocol> <CryptoAlgorithm> <Base64Data>
SIG <TypeCovered> <CryptoAlgorithm> <LabelCount>
<OriginalTTL> <SigExpiration> <SigInception>
<KeyTag> <Signer's Name> <Base64Data>
NXT <NextName> <Type> [<Type>...]
WINS <MapFlag> <LookupTimeout>
<CacheTimeout> <IPAddress> [<IPAddress>]
WINSR <MapFlag> <LookupTimeout>
<CacheTimeout> <RstDomainName>
<Zone> -- <ZoneName> | /RootHints
<ZoneName> -- FQDN of a zone
<NodeName> -- name of node for which a record will be added
- FQDN of a node (name with a '.' at the end) OR
- node name relative to the ZoneName OR
- "@" for zone root node OR
- service name for SRV only (e.g. _ftp._tcp)
<Ttl> -- TTL for the RR (Default: TTL defined in SOA)
<HostName> -- FQDN of a host
<IPAddress> -- e.g. 255.255.255.255
<ipv6Address> -- e.g. 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8
<Protocol> -- UDP | TCP
<Service> -- e.g. domain, smtp
<TypeCovered> -- type of the RRset signed by this SIG
<CryptoAlgorithm> -- 1=RSA/MD5, 2=Diffie-Hellman, 3=DSA
<SigExpiration> -- yyyymmddhhmmss - GMT
<SigInception> -- yyyymmddhhmmss - GMT
<KeyTag> -- used to discriminate between multiple SIGs
<Signer's Name> -- domain name of signer
<KeyProtocol> -- 1=TLS, 2=email, 3=DNSSEC, 4=IPSEC
<Base64Data> -- KEY or SIG binary data in base64 notation
<NextName> -- domain name of next RRSet in zone

When adding a PTR record into this kind of zone, if the zone does not exist,
it is automatically created - beautiful...

[wintechuser]

If bydefault reverse zone not created, then one should manually add the
reverse zone. at

explains how to create the reverse zone using dnscmd.
