Free zone editor software for linux

The Posadis Zone Editor is a graphical tool to edit DNS (Domain Name System) zones using DNS update.

Because it uses zone transfers, you can simply edit the DNS zone, and have only the changes transferred to the DNS server.

ZoneAdmin is a Web interface for the powerDNS name server using the MySQL backend. It allows you to manage existing zones and add, remove, and alter new ones, supports on-the-fly input validation, and allows comments per zone and per record.
Furthermore, it keeps a detailed history of changes and allows you to temporary enable or disable zones without having to remove them completely. New zones can use templates that contain predefined records. The project is designed to be used with one of Apaches authentication methods.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes bugs related to inability to add record type AAAA, inability to add CNAME records, and validation failures.

The Public IP ZoneCD is whats known as a LiveCD. It does not install to your hard drive. It runs right from your CD-ROM. The ZoneCD is a re-master of Morphix CD which in turn is a modified version of KNOPPIX CD.
The ZoneCD is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software pre-configured to create a WiFi gateway. ZoneCD is a mini operating system with automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards and other peripherals.
The gateway includes support for WiFi end-user authentication and web content filtering. Public IP ZoneCD is distributed under the GNU General Public License .
The ZoneCD is Linux, but you dont have to know anything about Linux to use the ZoneCD. You just need to know how to place a CD in a CD-ROM, and turn-on a computer? How cool is that!? All the benefits of Linux (stability, configurability, security, and a few other * itys) without having to know anything about Linux! We have Knoppix to thank for that.
Knoppix provides much of the auto configuration software used during bootup. Morphix provides the lightweight modular platform for me to add the components and software required to create an automatic WiFi gateway.
The ideal of Open Source is what makes the building and distribution the ZoneCD possible. The sharing of code so that the next developer can pickup and take the software in a new direction is what makes open source work. Its what makes the ZoneCD work.
The ZoneCD works by adding a piece of hardware between your AP (wireless access point or router) and your network or Internet connection. The piece of hardware used for the ZoneCD can be any PC with a minumum of 128MB RAM, two etherent cards, a floppy drive, and a CD-ROM (see system requirements). Once the initial setup and configuration is complete, the system can be run headless. Headless meaning there is no need for keeping a keyboard, mouse, or monitor hooked-up. The CD will boot completely unattended after setup is complete.
The ZoneCD has two very important services running that enable the system to operate as a self-contained wifi gateway. NoCat, and Dansgaurdian.
The features that are available to you depend on the mode in which you configure your ZoneCD to operate. The ZoneCD can operate in two modes, Open or Closed. Many of the Closed mode features are actually features that are available on the Control server in Zone Control. These features are available when the ZoneCD is operated in Closed mode and are not necessarily on the ZoneCD.
Main features:
Open Mode
- Homepage Redirection
- Customize ZoneCD splash page
- Content Filtering (block porn, downloads, etc.)
- Customize Firewall rules
Closed Mode
- User authentication/registration
- Homepage redirection
- Bandwidth shaping
- Daily time limits
- Daily download limits
- Zone open and close times
- Block by mac address
- Configure end-user network permissions(Classes)
- Customize firewall rules for each Class
- Content Filtering (block porn, downloads, etc.)
- Daily Log Mailer program
- Block traffic to *wired* network
- Customize ZoneCD login pages
- Branded "Terms of Use" template or use your own
- Usage statistics
- Multilingual login pages (Dutch,French,German,Spanish,English)
- End-User reporting

DNS::Zone contains a collection of Perl modules which provide an abstraction of name service zones as well as server specific adaptors for concrete file representations.

The modules origin is the ZoneMaster project which make heavy use of the module for comprehensive zone file management. Go to http://www.zonemaster.org for further information.

Installation:

You install DNS::Zone as you would install any perl module library, by running these command:

If you have CPAN.pm installed and are connected to the Internet

perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install DNS::Zone

or even

perl -MCPAN -e install DNS::Zone

otherwise

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

DNS::ZoneParse is a Perl module to parse and manipulate DNS Zone Files.

SYNOPSIS

use DNS::ZoneParse;

my $zonefile = DNS::ZoneParse->new("/path/to/dns/zonefile.db", $origin);

# Get a reference to the MX records
my $mx = $zonefile->mx;

# Change the first mailserver on the list
$mx->[0] = { host => mail.localhost.com,
priority => 10,
name => @ };

# update the serial number
$zonefile->new_serial();

# write the new zone file to disk
open NEWZONE, ">/path/to/dns/zonefile.db" or die "error";
print NEWZONE $zonefile->output();
close NEWZONE;

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Net::DNS::ZoneFile is a Perl extension to convert a zone file to a collection of RRs.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::DNS::ZoneFile;

my $rrset = Net::DNS::ZoneFile->read($filename[, $root]);

print $_->string . "n" for @$rrset;

my $rrset = Net::DNS::ZoneFile->readfh($fh[, $root]);

# OR

my $rrset = Net::DNS::ZoneFile->parse($ref_to_myzonefiletext[, $root]);

This module parses a zone file and returns a reference to an array of Net::DNS::RR objects containing each of the RRs given in the zone in the case that the whole zone file was succesfully parsed. Otherwise, undef is returned.

The zone file can be specified as a filename, using the ->read() method, or as a file handle, using the ->readfh() method. If you already have a scalar with the contents of your zone file, the most efficient way to parse it is by passing a reference to it to the ->parse() method.
The optional $root parameter, tells the module where to anchor $INCLUDE statements found in the zone data. It defaults to the current directory.

In case of error, undef will be returned.

The primitives $ORIGIN and $GENERATE are understood automatically.

Note that the text passed to ->parse() by reference, is copied inside the function to avoid modifying the original text. If this is not an issue, you can use ->_parse() instead, which will happily spare the performance penalty AND modify the input text.
