Hello, WHM stupidly without asking me added all Default nameservers into zone files of accounts i transfered to my server. The aim is now fix the mess WHM did. Removing whole entry lines nsx1.hosting.com X X X IP nsx2.hosting.com X X X IP there is more than 100 zone files to edit. so i ask how i can remove these two whole lines automatically via linux command line from all zone files.

  Hello, You could use the replace command. First if you haven't already done so, make a backup of the /var/named directory cp -rfpd /var/named /var/named.bak
  Then you would use the replace command something like this: replace 'nsx1.hosting.com X X X IP' '' -- * replace 'nsx2.hosting.com X X X IP' '' -- *
  That should do the trick. If anything goes wrong, you still have the backup.
