rndc reconfig vs. rndc reload

2012-03-16 Thread Mark Pettit
I've read carefully through the BIND ARM and am still not sure of the answer to this, so I figured I'd ask on here. rndc reconfig causes BIND to re-load its config file, but unlike rndc reload, BIND will not scan the zone files it's mastering to see if there have been any updates. This is

If PTR is present then it works pretty well. My concern is without PTR record. Ya I can use dig instead to nslookup but I need to fix it in nslookup as well. If anybody has any clue or can tell how it be fixed then it will really help me and it be highly appreciated. -Ashok On Fri, Mar 16, 2012

If you are authoritative for a cname that points to an A elsewhere, your server will resolve the cname and leave it to the client dns server to go get the A from the server that hosts it. On Mar 16, 2012 10:14 AM, Samantha Steers sam.fait...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am getting prepped to migrate

I was considering doing rndc reconfig, followed by a rndc reload zone for each of the new zones. Would this work? 'reconfig' reloads the configuration without reloading all of the zones, but if it sees that you've added or removed any zones in the config file, it will load or unload those.

Who will be using this in-house DNS server? Your local users? If yes, then you will need to enable recursion so they can look up outside resources (google.com, etc.) If this server will strictly be an authoritative server for your domain, then it won't need recursion but queries that return

Or one can use nslookup from BIND 9 which doesn't have that restriction. nslookups with this restriction are at least 10 years old now and there have been new types added. DNSSEC has been completely overhauled in that time. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117,
