Subject: Re: Root server question

I do it with a script like this one:
  
> echo 'tcpclient 78.47.115.194 53 axfr-get . CesidianRoot.txt CesidianRoot.tmp'
> tcpclient 78.47.115.194 53 axfr-get . CesidianRoot.txt CesidianRoot.tmp
> echo 'sort -u *.txt > data'
> sort -u *.txt > data
> echo 'tinydns-data'
> tinydns-data
> echo 'cp data.cdb /service/tinydns/root'
> cp data.cdb /service/tinydns/root
  
  I have seen especially with large root-files that tinydns performs better than
  bind and with a much smaller footprint in memory and cpu.
  
  Plus update your file. That is all. No restart needed.
  
  You don't need the echoes but it is nice to see what the script is doing.
  
  Cheers
