Hello I am looking to do some DNS cleanup and consolidation. The first step is to cleanup our reverse lookup zones. We have 100+ separate zones that were created over the years. I want to consolidate these down to basically to 2 or 3 reverse zone. So for example I would end up consolidating all the reverse zones from numerous reverse zones to a one 172.x.x.x reverse zone. Is there a easy way to go about this? I havent been able to find any 3rd party tools to help out with this so I am thinking I will have to script this out. Anyone had any experience doing something like this? Thanks.
