Under this case, if I modified the zone file directly by hand, will nsupdate overwrite the modification? If you attempt to update a dynamic zone by hand, without first freezing the zone or shutting down named, you will likely corrupt the zone. You need to use 'rndc freeze zone' and then do the update by hand (don't forget to bump the serial number!), and then do 'rndc thaw zone' (assuming you're using a recent version of BIND). While the zone is frozen, updates made dynamically (e.g. via your web interface) will be discarded. For these reasons, it's often good to think about whether the hand-editing is really necessary and what impact it has on your overall process. michael ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
