Has anyone synchronized the DNS files/changes on multiple VMS machines? I need a way to synchronize files across the network. If anyone knows a way or has done this, I will post more information that is specific about my configuration. Would rsync work for this on VMS? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, just back...
Not sure but I know you can setup a DNS Client. I would guess you have one or more servers where you mainatin the files, the rest (being clients) would retrieve updates once in a while.
If you use VMS as a DHCP server, be sure to allow DNS updates by those machines. That will require some additional configuration on DNS (in the configuration file).
This being said: it will depend on your version of TCPIP, and the manufacturer. TCPIP 5.4 (that comes with VMS 7.3-2) can handle this.
