Hi Beavis,
I am doing exactly that and I did have problems :)
The debian /etc/init.d does not work for me.
For the moment I do start my nameds from /home like
named -u bindusr9 -c binduser9/named.conf -g
When you see it working drop the "-g".
in my named.conf I have something like
options {
directory "/home/binocle";
pid-file "/home/binocle/named.pid";
dump-file "/home/binocle/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/home/binocle/named.stats";
query-source address * port 2233;
listen-on port 53 { 7.19.30.36 };
listen-on port 12453 { 7.19.30.36 };
listen-on-v6 { none; };
allow-query { any; };
allow-recursion { none; };
allow-notify { none; };
blackhole { bogon; };
lame-ttl 1800;
max-ncache-ttl 600;
recursive-clients 127;
};
bad: query-source address * port 2233;
I am running more than one resolver too. That is why
I have to keep their ports on different addresses.
If you dont resolve then that is not a problem except ...
listen-on port 53 { 7.19.30.36 };
listen-on port 12453 { 7.19.30.36 };
normally I have only one of these - you can have both.
I am running a hidden master on port 12353.
The ouside sees only my slave on port 53.
When I am editing I am editing my hidden master only.
I have too many binds running that is why I dont fool
around with rndc and keys. I kill whatever is inside
/home/binocle/named.pid
and I restart the master with
named -u bindusr9 -c binduser9/named.conf -g
to see if it complains.
I kill it with ^c and start it again with
named -u bindusr9 -c binduser9/named.conf
if it is working.
I can
dig -p 12453 -t any hammer.com @7.19.30.36
to see if it does what I want.
My clients dont see a break because my slave keeps
running and takes the new data when it has time to.
The only critical moment is when I edit the
/home/binocle/named.conf
but again I have to do that on the master as well
and cut + paste is my friend.
Cheers
Peter and Karin
