Hi Linoders

I have decided (a year too late) to leave Slicehost and have settled on Linode. I want to know if anybody has suggestions for migrating my DNS records from SH?

I have about 150 records and would hate to do it all manually, only to realise I could've dumped the zone files and batch edited the IP's.

Thanks.

I used slicedns2linode to migrate my DNS settings from Slicehost to Linode just 2 days ago. Went smoothly except for one "oversight", the DNS entries created on Linode still had the Slicehost IP address assigned. So I had to manually edit each record to change the IP addresses to my new Linode one.
