Note: For further information on using RNDC, we recommend referring
to O'Reilly's DNS and BIND, 4th Edition.
To run RNDC or RNDC-CONFGEN, define symbols:
$ rndc :== $multinet:rndc.exe
$ rndcconfgen :== $multinet:rndc-confgen.exe
You need to restart the Nameserver for these changes to take effect. The
following commands will do it:
$ multinet netcontrol domain shutdown
$ @multinet:start_server restart
