For those of you who have switched from BIND 8.x to djbdns, how difficult was it for you? Are there any how-to's or detailed step-by-step walk through's that describe a reasonably sane way to upgrade? I've read all the docs on djbdns, and once the conversion is done, it looks pretty simple to administer, and work it into some of my automated setup tools. I'm more concerned with the conversion from BIND 8.
Well, I performed a quick-n-dirty conversion in about 15 minutes by grepping all of the domains for which we were the master server out of the named.conf file and using a simple shell script to run axfr-get for each of those domains. Then I cat'd (catted?) those files together, ran 'sort -u' on it and ran tinydns-data on the result. Voila! I also through together a Python script to clean it up and organize it a bit. That made it a bit easier to maintain. That provided a useable server, but we're working on a way to manage it all from a sql database with a CGI frontend.
