I would tend to agree that rndc is the best place for it, except in places where doing the "r" part of rndc isn't possible. If you're in a tightly controlled environment, where rndc isn't used because of security/firewalls, you'd be stuck using another method to get the data, instead of utilizing a data channel that already exists. Additionally, there may well be times where I'd want to give access to people to see what zones are on the server, without giving them access to the console, or to run rndc. This a NOC doing troubleshooting - they may not have access to the box, or be able to use RNDC, but it would be handy if they could look and see what zones are loaded on the server. Granted, these are edge cases really, but ones where having the data available as a zone would be more useful than through rndc. Any which way, having access to the data would be good. t. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
