Hi Milap,

I was tested before couple of month in my test environment.


1) Install bind in linux system.


2) Copy each zone file located in %SystemRoot%/System32/dns/ from
your
Windows server to linux (/var/named/chroot/var/named)


3) Create zone entry in named.conf file.


4) restart named services.


NOTE:- Do not apply directly in your production environment.First
test
in your testing environment. stop windows dns service before starting
bind(named) service.

have not tested this, might work

1) install bind

2) create slave zone & ensure record transfer

3) change fw / network settings to get it live

4) rndc retransfer zone

5) change slave zones to master

test it before going live

This is perfect.

Or allow recursive and transfer for one ip.

execute following command. You will get all zone transfer data. Create
zone entry in named.conf and copy the data to zone files.

dig @dnsserverip axfr example.com

where dnsserverip is IP of your dns and example.com is zone.

You will get all the entry as sample below and just create zone files
and add to zone files which is referred by named.conf
-----------------just sample----
station144.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.144
station145.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.145
station146.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.146
station147.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.147
station148.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.148
station149.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.149
station15.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.15
station150.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.150
station151.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.151
--------------just sample cut------------
