Creates a BIND server database and populates it with records
from the local host and MX databases. This command will create
either a forward translation file or a reverse translation file.
If you specify a domain.name that ends in IN-ADDR.arpa, a reverse
translation file is created.

1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /DOMAIN
/DOMAIN=domain.name
Required.
Domain for which to extract data. Determines whether to perform
forward translation or reverse translation. The following
restrictions and instructions apply:
o The domain name must be fully qualified.
o The closing dot is not required.
o Do not use wildcards.
o Specify up to four parts of the IP address for varying degrees
of selectivity. For example:
/DOMAIN=16.IN-ADDR.arpa is less selective.
/DOMAIN=8.20.16.IN-ADDR.arpa is more selective.
The end of domain.name determines whether a forward or reverse
translation is performed. For example:
o If the domain name ends in IN-ADDR.arpa:
- Reverse translation is performed.
- The domain is some part of an IP address, reversed, and
added to IN-ADDR.arpa.
- The selection includes the contents of the hosts database
in the output.
o If the domain name ends in anything else (for example,
/DOMAIN=DAW.MAG.COM):
- Forward translation is performed.
- All hosts in domain.name or in any of its subdomains are
selected for the output file.
- CONVERT/UNIX BIND does a forward translation and selects
hosts in DAW.MAG.COM and in its subdomains.
1.2 /LOG
/LOG
/NOLOG
Optional. Default: /NOLOG.
Shows records as they are processed.
2 – Examples
1.TCPIP> CONVERT/UNIX BIND /DOMAIN=KESTREL.SMALL.FALCON
On host KESTREL, creates a BIND server database with default
file name SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]KESTREL_SMALL_FALCON.DB.
BIND and MX records for the host's domain,
kestrel.small.falcon, are extracted, converted, and written
to KESTREL_SMALL_FALCON.DB.
2.TCPIP> CONVERT/UNIX BIND /LOG /DOMAIN=ABC.COM
Creates a BIND server database. The /LOG qualifier indicates
that records will be displayed as they are processed.
