Hi John, You might try doing a dns dump from nslookup (ls -d domain.com > dns.txt) and running a script against that. if you're not comfortable with a script, you at the very least have a text file with all of your hosts in it and it's a lot easier than typing them all in. if you are comfortable with scripting, you can easily extract the relevant data and pump that into a string that will look like you want. regards, <hr>William York, MS, MCP+I, MCSE (NT4 & W2K) New Mexico Department of Health Network Operations Center Vice President - PODNet POD, Inc. desk: 505.827.2420 office: 505.243.2287 <hr> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>jhearns@tuls.pauken.co.uk (Dr John Hearns) Sent by: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net 12/05/2003 04:55 AM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td valign=top>nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <tr> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td valign=top> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td valign=top>Re: [Nagios-users] Large hostgroups?</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>On Fri, Dec 05, 2003 at 11:31:08AM +0000, Dr John Hearns wrote: Of course, the members list is comma separated.
