Hi,


I have some doubts about BIND and can't find documentation about:
References are welcome =)

1. The Named read the file named.conf and store all it in the main  
memory?

The same is done to files zones? Or is there another way?


You probably know this but:

If you're doing redundancy you really ought to do the whole thing by
getting another server and putting IT on the other network.   Then you
don't have a single point of failure (unless they're both in the same
data center).

If you really want to do two different IPs on one host you could
probably use views to accomplish this but that would be all within a
single BIND setup so your theoretical DOS attack would probably cause
both views to have issues.

Why? This would be completely useless. RFC 1034 and other documents
call for at least two name servers, for redundancy reasons. If the  
two
name servers are on the same host, what's the point? There would be  
no

gain in reliability.


If you have ever had the ip for your name server the target of a dos
attack you could have blocked traffic to that ip and still had dns.

Two networks to same host is network redundancy and has value.

Jeff, my apologies. I read the quoting levels wrong.

Re: RHEL and named with DLZ

Hello, I am trying to get named with DLZ on RHEL.

My build line is below, I can start named, and I have base  
configured it
so that it will return a lookup for `dig example.com @localhost  
+norec`

which returns a custom IP I put in to make sure it is really working.

So far, I know named is working.

I added in dlz Mysql zone { ... }

rndc and restarting named all work fine, no errors that I can see.   
But
in a successful build on OS X, I was getting a line in the log for  
named

that said
'Mysql zone' using driver mysql

I do not get that on RHEL, and I am not getting answers back for my  
test

zones I have in the database.  MySql is running, I know that much.

Any suggestions?


BIND in RHEL5 is based on 9.3 series and DLZ stuff has been merged in
9.4 development cycle. It is impossible to get DLZ working with bind
package that is shipped in RHEL5.

Could I ask you why you can't use SDB, please?

Regards, Adam

Adam, I believe I used you srpm for bind. people.redhat.com/atkac or  
soemthing like it. If that's you, thank you.


I didn't confirm this by trying it, but I read in numerous places that  
the current RHEL5 bind didn't work with mysql.

Can anyone that the current RHEL bind-sdb does work with mysql?

If I go to isc.org the most prominant download links I find are for  
BIND 9.6.0-P1.

I didn't find at isc.org where they state which version is recommended.
Does anyone know where to find this information?


Thank you,
Brad
