Bind 4.9.7 updared to 8.1.2

[Penni Nussbaum]

I ouwld like to upgrade my dns server to Bind 8.1.2. The problem is the original hosts file no longer exists so I cannot use the "hosts_to_named" command. is there a way I can convert the named.data file to a named.conf file?

A script called named-bootconf.pl is provided to turn your named.boot into a named.conf.

See the migration documentation at:

BIND 8 comes with a perl script to do this for you, you should be able to run

/usr/bin/named-bootconf.pl named.boot > named.conf

here is the script if you don't have it.
