Michael,

Here's a snippet from my named.conf which does what you're talking about. I use this in our recursive resolvers, but for authoritative servers, I find the hints file to be somewhat more robust. FYI, I stole this originally from the default FreeBSD named.conf file that got pushed out with a 6.something update. There was some controversy in the FreeBSD mailing lists about it, so I have no idea whether it's still used or not.

zone "." {
        type slave;
        file "slave/root.slave";
        masters {
                192.33.4.12;    // C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                192.112.36.4;   // G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                193.0.14.129;   // K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
        };
        notify no;
};
zone "arpa" {
        type slave;
        file "slave/arpa.slave";
        masters {
                192.33.4.12;    // C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                192.112.36.4;   // G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                193.0.14.129;   // K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
        };
        notify no;
};
zone "in-addr.arpa" {
        type slave;
        file "slave/in-addr.arpa.slave";
        masters {
                192.33.4.12;    // C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                192.112.36.4;   // G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                193.0.14.129;   // K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
        };
        notify no;
};

Hello,

right now I'm using scripts to download root.zone and in-addr.arpa from
internic.net. But this is a non-standard way, I'd prefer to directly
slave and zone-transfer those 2 zones.
Is it possible, and can you show the bind config for these?

Thanks a lot,

mfg zmi
