For some sysadmins, that's the absolute minimum of work. For others, the absolute minimum is to take their existing named.conf and zone files from a running server and drop them onto a new system with no modification. If you've changed the _intrinsic_ default behavior, then their nameserver won't work anymore; they'll have to edit their files to add new directives to bring the original behavior back. This will make them grumpy. But if whoever does the packaging provides a default config file (or a suite of them to choose from, perhaps), without altering the intrinsic behavior of named, that satisfies both kinds of sysadmin. -- Evan Hunt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
