Does anybody know how to update a load balanced DNS entry on a BIND9 server using nsupdate?
Everything in DNS is setup and works, I can happily update my name server using nsupdate but I can't find any syntax to allow me to add multiple endpoints to an entry.
For example, I have an entry such as:
www IN A 192.168.1.20 IN A 192.168.1.21 IN A 192.168.1.22
The 192.168.1.22 is going down for maintenance and I want to remove it from the DNS record in advance, I would like to run:
nsupdate [keys etc] > server dns.example.com > update delete www.example.com > update add www.example.com 1 IN A 192.168.1.20 A 192.168.1.21 > send > quit
Obviously manually editing the DNS file works fine, but I'd like to do this over nsupdate. If anyone can provide a way of doing this I'd be very grateful, thanks.
