A nameserver declares itself non-authoritative either because it hasn't loaded the zone at all, or because it detected serious errors when loading the zone. In the first case, there's nothing to transfer. In the second case, it would be transferring an erroneous, probably incomplete, zone, and this doesn't seem like a good idea; it's better to have the slaves continue to serve the last known good version of the zone. -- Barry Margolin, bar...@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
