Multiple masters in slave zone

Hello How does BIND handle multiple masters in a slave zone definition? I know that if one master doesn't answer, a second one is checked for new zone data, but does BIND periodically check ALL master servers for new data? Best regards Fabian Gut -- Fabian Gut Trainee open systems ag

You said: On most operating systems, the default is threaded. On linux, the default is unthreaded, for historical reasons having t do with an odd interaction between linux threads and linux process privileges. I expect we'll correct this fairly soon; it's on the to-do list for 9.7.1. [Jack

Re: Problem resolving domains with valid GLUE records but misconfigured NS records

2010-03-17 Thread Kevin Darcy
Well, the zone is publishing NS records that all return REFUSED when I query them, so from my point of view the whole domain is broken. The *best* approach here is to contact the domain admin and get them to fix it. In the absence of that, how to circumvent it? ns1.ecb.int apparently
