I could succesfully setup bind with mysql backend and it works using bind-mysql driver.

everything works except that nsupdate will no longer work.

is this normal ??

requests sent for adding a RR using nsupdate are ignored by named when using mysqldb backend
while they are honoured and served when using normal file backend.

is this a normal behaviour ?

how to use nsupdate even if with a different backend which is not the default file backend ?


any hints ?

thank you


Riccardo

I need really something very simple:


I have 2 domain name servers, I need them to be multi-master
Please explain -- *why* do you need multimaster?


I need to be able to update the nameserver even if one of the two
masters is down, I need this
for High Avaliability purposes for services geographycally distriuted
If I do not have a multimaster architecture and primary nameserver
goes
down, I Cannot update the secondary
if I need to.

How about rsync?

I too need a second master in an alternate location, only in the event
of a catastrophe (loss of a data center).  There are active slaves with
dynamic zones in both locations.  Any of the slaves can use either
master, but by default, they use the one listed first in named.conf
which is the master in the main location.  If the first master
disappears, the slaves will use the other master.

Simplicity is important to me as well and that's why I chose rsync to
periodically get the zone data (and configs) to the master in the
secondary location.  I looked into MySQL (which I use for other
purposes), but the solution was no longer simple.

Steve.
