BIND Change the IP Address of a Domain or HOST

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is a widely used Domain Name System (DNS) server software that is used to resolve domain names to IP addresses.

To change the IP address of a domain or host in BIND, you will need to update the DNS records for the domain or host in question. This can be done using the nsupdate utility, which allows you to modify DNS records on a BIND server.

Here is an example of how to use nsupdate to change the IP address of a domain or host:

1. Connect to the BIND server using ssh.

2. Run the nsupdate utility:

nsupdate

3. Enter the following command to specify the domain or host whose IP address you want to change:

server <dns_server_ip>

Replace <dns_server_ip> with the IP address of the BIND server.

4. Enter the following command to specify the new IP address for the domain or host:

update delete <hostname> A
update add <hostname> A <new_ip_address>

Replace <hostname> with the domain or hostname whose IP address you want to change.
