If you set up a slave domain it will automatically query and stay in sync with the master nameserver. I use scripts on both ends for most new domains. Here's the files from the slave side: === begin addconf.sh === #!/bin/sh DATADIR="/etc/namedb/conf" TEMPLATE="/etc/namedb/templates/default.bind" usage() { echo "Usage: $0 \"domain.name\" [templatefile]" exit 1; } if [ "$2" ] ; then if [ -r $2 ] ; then TEMPLATE=$2 else usage fi fi if [ "$1" ] ; then DOMAIN=$1 else usage fi echo -n "Configuring ${DOMAIN} using ${TEMPLATE}.." cat ${TEMPLATE} | sed -e "s/%%DOMAIN%%/${DOMAIN}/g" > ${DATADIR}/${DOMAIN}.bind echo " done." === end addconf.sh === === begin default.bind === zone "%%DOMAIN%%" { type slave; file "slave/%%DOMAIN%%.bak"; masters { my.master.server.ip; }; allow-query { 0.0.0.0/0; }; }; === end default.bind === === begin make-conf.sh === #!/bin/sh inputfile=/etc/namedb/templates/named.conf.in outputfile=/etc/namedb/named.conf backupfile=/etc/namedb/backups/named.conf.old confdir=/etc/namedb/conf if [ -r ${outputfile} ] ; then echo "Backing up current file to ${backupfile}.." mv -f ${outputfile} ${backupfile} fi echo -n "Generating ${outputfile}".. cp -f ${inputfile} ${outputfile} for conffile in ${confdir}/*.bind; do echo "include \"${conffile}\";" >> $outputfile done echo " done." === end make-conf.sh === For named.conf.in you just want your normal named.conf file that doesn't include any of the domains defined in ${confdir}. Figuring out the rest of it I leave as an exercise for the reader, but I'm happy to answer specific questions.
