Greetings:
Wonder if anyone else has noticed this?
Running BIND-9.5.0-P2 on a Solaris 9 boxen. Saw Daniel Dawalibi's note
on server status and wondered what MY server was doing... Ran "rndc
status" and got this:
metis% rndc status
version: 9.5.0-P2
number of zones: 22
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is ON
recursive clients: 0/0/1000
tcp clients: 0/100
server is up and running
Saw the number of zones and wondered "Where the HECK do they all come
from?" because just serving my own two domains in two views shouldn't
add up to 22... (I'll attach my named.conf below - inline.) Counted
the zones. Only 11:
metis% grep -i zone named.conf
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
zone "hicks-net.net" in {
zone "hicks-net.org" in {
zone "96-111.55.139.64.in-addr.arpa" {
zone "." in {
zone "10.in-addr.arpa" in {
zone "uc8010.com" IN {
zone "ucmal.com" IN {
zone "hicks-net.net" in {
zone "hicks-net.org" in {
zone "96-111.55.139.64.in-addr.arpa" {
So...? Where DO the number of zones I'm serving come from?
Regards,
Gregory Hicks
My /etc/named.conf. (Yes, I KNOW that the in-addr.arpa doesn't work.
I haven't got with the ISP to get the in-addr's delegated.)
