It doesn't write *to* the journal file; it takes the changes that are encoded in the journal file and writes them out to the zone master file. I guess that wasn't clear, so maybe the man page needs some clarification: sync [-clean] [zone [class [view]]] Sync changes in the journal file for a dynamic zone to the master file. If the "-clean" option is specified, the journal file is also removed. If no zone is specified, then all zones are synced. "rndc reload" loads the zone from the master file *plus* the journal file, if there is one. There's no need to sync the journal file to the master file before reloading. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. ___ 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

I'll give a short version: "rndc reload" existed from the early days of BIND with the first notice in CHANGES being [bug] 287 in 9.1.0b1. "rndc sync" came along with [func] 3084 in BIND 9.9.0a1. You don't need to sync before you reload. As to the internals, I dunno.

Re: rndc - sync before reload?
I have zero experience with dynamic zones on BIND because all of ours are static. That said, and since nobody else has commented, it seems like it would make sense to sync before reload. The man says that sync writes out to the journal which shouldn't ever be a bad thing.
