<h1>Converting from another DNS server to MaraDNS</h1>

The procedure for converting from another DNS server to MaraDNS is as
follows:

<ul>
<li>Make sure that the names of all zones that the other DNS server has
are in one's mararc file.
<li>Configure the other DNS server to allow the IP of the machine which
will run MaraDNS to perform zone transfers.
<li>Use the <tt>getzone</tt> client to transfer the zones over.
</ul>

Assuming that one needs to transfer the zones for example.com, 
maradns.org, and heaven.af.mil over, the procedure would be as follows:

<ul>
<li>Add the following lines to one's mararc file:
<blockquote>
<pre>
csv1["example.com."] = "db.example.com"
csv1["maradns.org."] = "db.maradns.org"
csv1["heaven.af.mil."] = "db.heaven.af.mil"
</pre>
</blockquote>
<li>By reading the documentation for the DNS server that one is 
currently running, set up the DNS server to allow zone transfers 
for exmaple.com, maradns.org, and heaven.af.mil
<li>Run getzone three times.  Assuming that the IP of the server running 
the current version of the DNS server one is currently running is at the 
IP 127.0.0.1:
<blockquote>
<pre>
cd /etc/maradns
getzone example.com 127.0.0.1 > db.example.com
getzone maradns.org 127.0.0.1 > db.maradns.org
getzone heaven.af.mil 127.0.0.1 > db.heaven.af.mil
</pre>
</blockquote>
</ul>
