I have bind/named running on Linux master and slaves. All is good, but now when I'm trying to clean up some old records - I realized that sorted zone on slaves are quite uneven. What I meant is, the $ORIGIN splits the zone into some unknown to me syntax/format. Is there anywhere I can find the description/documentation on it - How exactly slave parse the zone from master and puts all these arbitrary paragraphs with $ORIGIN.
Remember that what is transferred from the master to the slave is in internal (binary) DNS format. The format that the slave writes it to disc (unless you have specified "masterfile-format raw") is the same as that which named-checkzone would generate with the options "-D -F text -s relative". As the named-checkzone man page says under "-s", The full format is most suitable for processing automatically by a separate script. On the other hand, the relative format is more human-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand. "More" does not mean "very", as you have noticed :-) -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
