Do all the things about domain names from the command line!
Add an A record:
dnc add foo.okt.red 173.12.34.56
Note: this will not work if there is already a CNAME record.
It is possible to add multiple A records in one step:
dnc add www.okt.red 173.12.34.56 173.23.45.67
Using set instead of add will replace existing records,
instead of appending to the existing list:
dnc set www.okt.red 173.44.55.66
Of course, multiple records can be added this way:
dnc set www.okt.red 173.55.66.77 173.99.88.77
The -f flag can be used to force removal of a CNAME record:
dnc set -f www.okt.red 173.44.55.66
It is possible to remove a record:
dnc rm www.okt.red 173.44.55.66
They work exactly the same way. The program will automatically
detect that you want a AAAA record because of its format:
dnc add foo.okt.red 2001:dead::f00d
It is possible to remove them the same way. It is also possible to add or remove mixed type records:
dnc rm foo.okt.red 2001:dead::f00d 173.44.55.66
When trying to remove a record that doesn't exist, an error
is thrown, except if the -f flag is specified:
dnc rm -f nonexistend.okt.red 1.2.3.4
It is possible to remove all records for a given name,
but then the -f option has to be given:
dnc rm -f www.okt.red
Easy: if something is neither A nor AAAA, it is a CNAME.
Example:
dnc add secure.okt.red ssl.okt.red
dnc rm -f secure.okt.red
Note that since there can only be one CNAME record at a time
(and no other record can co-exist with a CNAME record), add
and set are equivalent for this type of record.
What about TXT, HINFO, SRV, etc.?
Since TXT and HINFO are just plain text, the type must be
explicitly specified:
dnc add -t HINFO ssl.okt.red F16-HUGEIP-LOADBALANCER
dnc rm -t HINFO ssl.okt.red
Note: when specifiying a type with rm -t ... without an
explicit record, it is not necessary to give -f.
SRV records can be specified using the following format:
dnc add _xmpp._tcp.okt.red ejab.okt.red:5222@10
Where 5222 is the port number and 10 the priority.
Listing one specific name:
$ dnc ls www.okt.red
A 173.44.55.66
A 173.55.66.77
AAAA 2001:f00d::cafe
HINFO APACHE-2-2-UBUNTU
Listing all names under something:
$ dnc ls -r okt.red
okt.red NS a.dns.gandi.net
okt.red NS b.dns.gandi.net
www.okt.red A 173.44.55.66
By default, don't show NS, MX, SOA, unless -a flag is given.
(Treat them as hidden files.)
