Or, you can run a script on the slaves which consults some centralized "zone slaving database" to determine what zones to slave, or to stop slaving. This "zone slaving database" can take many forms. One idea is to represent this list as a special zone within DNS itself, containing just one entry per zone to be slaved. I prefer using PTR records for this, over, say, TXT records, since PTR records can benefit from label compression.
Not to mention that they guarantee correct domain name syntax, and the absence of duplicates (due to case-insensitivity). Ever since I first saw you recommend this, I have wondered "why did I ever think TXT records were the right way to do it?" ... -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
