I may already know the answer to this, but I'm looking for some confirmation. Is it not possible to do bind views via a slave server? In other words, does AXFR just transfer the view that the slave can see and nothing more?
We have an in-house application that we use to build our dns configs. I'd like to be able to build to a master server and then have the slaves do AXFR to get updates from it. The alternative is to push new zone files out to the name servers directly and do reloads all the time, which seems more dangerous. In the first scenario, if we do something that causes named on the master to fail to start, at least the slaves will still be answering queries. However, we were also hoping to implement views so that we can hide dns for our private address space from the world. But I'm thinking now that I can't do both of these things. Suggestions welcome. :) ________________ Kirsten Petersen Network Services * Oregon State University http://oregonstate.edu/net * irc.oregonstate.edu #osu-is "Paper doesn't grow on trees."
