Change directory to the tinydns data directory (cd
/service/tinydns/root) , edit your tinydns data file. Editing can be
done in one sweep with

# mv data data.old
# sed -e 's/osborneindustries.com/osborneinternal.com/g' data.old >data

Now run "make" to generate a new "data.cdb" file from the edited
"data" file. Tinydns will notice the change, no need to start/stop or
give a -HUP to tinydns.


The only other thing left is to tell dnscache about the change.

# cd /service/dnscache/root/servers
You will see a file called "osborneindustries.com" The contents of
that file is the IP address of your tinydns server. Rename this file
with "mv" to "osborneinternal.com"
