NAME

       dnsvi - Edit dynamic DNS zones using vi

SYNOPSIS

       dnsvi [-l] [-k keyfile] [-g] [-p port] [@nameserver] zone

DESCRIPTION

       dnsvi is a frontend for nsupdate. Given a DNS zone name, it uses dig -t AXFR to get all the records in a
       zone. It then spawns your favorite editor, and upon completion, builds a list of "update add" and "update
       delete" statements to feed to nsupdate.

OPTIONS

       -l  Use localhost as nameserver and pass -l (local) to nsupdate.

       -k keyfile
           Use keyfile for AXFR and nsupdate.

       -g  Use Kerberos credentials for nsupdate. See -g in nsupdate(1) for details.

       -p port
           Use port for AXFR and nsupdate (default: 53).

       @nameserver
           Query nameserver for zone data and send updates there.

ENVIRONMENT

       EDITOR
           Editor to use instead of sensible-editor.

EXAMPLE

        $ dnsvi -k dyn.df7cb.de.key @ns.df7cb.de dyn.df7cb.de
