Hi all
who could you give me clear answer..?

see attached file..
thanks
any tips are helpful

Do you want to generate 8000 lines of hostnames that resolve to the same IP? This can be done using a wildcard:

* IN A 10.10.10.10

Or are you looking for a way to translate /etc/hosts to the appropriate `named` zone files? I'm not at work so I don't have access to the PERL script I've created to handle our specific needs. I'll get that posted if you'd like to see it.

Sorry,

if you expect a clear answer, would you mind to utter your question clearly? ;-)

I cannot recapitulate what you're trying to achieve.
Your attachment looks like a DNS zone file to me.
Do you want to automatically create/modify such files by a script?

You have a file with
zzz
yyy
xxx
Let's call it file1.

you want "IN A 10.10.10.10" added to each line?

Ok.
Using a script.....
#!/bin/ksh
exec 3while read LINE 0<&3
do
echo $LINE "IN A 10.10.10.10" > file2
done
3<&-

Using vi.....
vi file1
:%s/$/IN A 10.10.10.10/
:wq!

there you go.
Don't know what you WANT it for. But at least you now have a way to append that stuff in a file.
