Use BIND zone file for static DNS

RouterOS General

Hi all,

Is it possible to upload a BIND format zone file (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt) to a RB4011 and use it for static DNS entries? If yes, how?

Thanks

Short answer: no

Long answer: You could write a script that would parse uploaded file and add supported records as RouterOS config. It’s probably possible, but RouterOS scripting is not exactly friendly (at least it doesn’t like me). If I would need something like this, I can imagine using some external script to produce either RouterOS config or update it using API. In any case, you’d be limited only to what RouterOS supports, i.e. only some record types, non-authoritative answers only.
