Having abandoned work on modifying pathalias to produce a UUCP Zone file for the DNS, I am now making the patches available to interested parties. The changes allow pathalias to produce DNS zone data such as the following: uunet IN CNAME uunet.uu.net. seismo IN MX 100 uunet.uu.net. earlobe IN UX 225 spdcc.com. earvax!earlobe!%s *.jpn BAD UX 4299 uunet.uu.net. kddlab!%s miaau.dk BAD CNAME mi.aau.dk. The BAD class was invented to preserve UUCP Map data that is inconsistent with the DNS. The UX type was invented to provide the information necessary to route mail to sites that are more than one hop off the internet. I know of no name server implementations that support such records, but the data is there if you can find a way to use it. Due to the difficulty of using this software safely I am not posting it, but I will e-mail a 20 Kbyte shar file to anyone who asks.
