Hello:

I am collecting some information to serve us as an alternative
for the situation described below.  I appreciate if you take a
few minutes to read this.  I will post s summary in about 2-3 weeks.


Our Environment:
We manipulate flat IP files manually (vi) and then they're fed
to perl scripts to make them digestible for BIND.


What we would like to have is a tool that basically does two
things: 1)provide a user interface for manipulating flat IP table files
and 2)does the "massage" of data to make it ready to be consumed by BIND.


At this point, we would like to write a in-house software for it but
we would like to make sure that all other alternatives are examined.


If you know of such tool/software that allows us to do this type
of IP-file-management, please let me know.  If you use BIND, and
you're in a big organization, how do you tackle this problem?


Thanks ,
