slave bind9 dns

gavino What did you change? What did you want it to do? What did it do instead?

They suggest something on page 205. Did you just copy that in?

Mine says:

a caching only nameserver configcontrols { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; }; }; zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; };

zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "localhost.zone"; allow-update { none; }; };

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.local"; allow-update { none; }; };

include "-etc-rndc.key";

BUT, since it is not used, I do not know if it is correct or not. It is what came with my RHEL 3 system. What I actually use (does more than cache) is:

named.conf - Configuration file for BIND9.2 name server

Note that IPTABLES is set to ensure that 192.168.1.* and192.168.2.* really are internal. acl "internal" { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.0-24; 192.168.2.0-24; };

N.B.: we are invoked in chroot environmentsrv-named: options { directory "-"; listen-on { "internal"; }; allow-query { "internal"; }; allow-recursion { "internal"; }; min-refresh-time 3600; or less than an hour cleaning-interval 113; minutes: server not very busy. interface-interval 59; minutes: dial-up interface. dump-file "-var-named-data-nameddump.db"; statistics-file "-var-named-data-namedstats.txt"; };

These go from numbers to names (roughly)

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" in { type master; file "db-db.127.0.0"; };

zone "0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" in { type master; file "db-db.192.168.0"; };

zone "1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" in { type master; file "db-db.192.168.1"; };

zone "2.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" in { type master; file "db-db.192.168.2"; };

zone "." in { type hint; file "db-db.cache"; };

This goes from names to numbers (roughly) zone "localdomain" in { type master; file "db-db.localdomain"; };

Use with the following in named.conf, adjusting the allow list as needed: key "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "FUDGED"; }; controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; }; };
