For that very same use case, we ended up proposing https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/pull/4497, which has now been included upstream. So you can now use the "namedincludes" attribute in your "site" table, to specify a list of configuration files paths to include in the xCAT-generated named.conf, to cover those cases. For instance, we're using this: # tabdump -w key==namedincludes site #key,value,comments,disable "namedincludes","/etc/named.rfc1912.zones,/etc/named/local.conf,",, which results in the following lines to be included in the /etc/named.conf that makedns generates: include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones"; include "/etc/named/local.conf"; There, you can add all your zone delegations and custom options you need in /etc/named/local.conf, and they will be left alone when when named.conf is regenerated. Hope this helps! Cheers, -- Kilian _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
