This does not work as expected. When bind checks the SOA on the master and detects a bigger serial, it tries to transfer the zone. Although the zone transfer fails, the timestamp gets updated. Thus, the zone looks fresh, but it isn't. regards Klaus _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
