Linode Forum

[zobrak]

I have a customer that wants to buy and add the .info, .net, .biz etc. for their existing .com domains...

Now I built a site and pretty much washed my hands of the whole project, 1. because I'm not a web developer, i got the site up and running and 2. I didn't get paid nearly enough to make regular maintenance to the site.

In Linode is there a way, to automatically add sites into the DNS records? or a work around for having 100+ domains?

I know how to add multi-domins into the virtual hosts and get them running manually but the first steps are to add the domains into the DNS tab in the Linode Dashboard.




Thanks!

The API is probably the easiest way. You'd do a domain.create for the domain, then domain.resource.creates for the records within the domain. In Python, it's roughly:

Code: from api import Api
linode = Api(api_key)

for domain_name in mythical_domain_iterator():
  d = linode.domain_create(domain=domain_name, type='master')
  domain_id = d['DATA']['DomainID']
  for name, rrtype, target in mythical_record_tuple_iterator():
    linode.domain_resource_create(domainid=domain_id, type=rrtype, name=name, target=target)


Other languages may require semicolons.
