So, here's my question: is there a way to share zones between views to
conserve memory?
One way is to put the master copy of those large zones in one view, then
define those zones in the other views as type 'forward', forwarding to
localhost.
Yeah, I've done that before, but it has some undesirable caching
behavior, i.e. entries get cached in the view which forwards, so clients
can get responses from data that is not as "fresh" as they might get if
the data were authoritative (assuming NOTIFY is in place, or some sort
of fast replication mechanism). Also, some things care whether the AA
flag is set in responses.
I've also been told that at least one BIND-based DNS management system,
to which I'm planning to migrate, will divide up the available memory
for named equally, among all of the views defined in the config. So, if
that's true -- and I haven't been able to independently confirm it --
then there would be a limit to how much memory a given view can have,
regardless of what tricks and/or stratagems one uses. (I'm hoping it
isn't true, since I have some environments where my named.conf has 5
views defined in it, 2 of which are non-recursive, and another 1 of
which sees an extremely small volume and diversity of queries, therefore
it would be quite painful for the 2 remaining "real" recursive views to
be limited to only 1/5th of the total memory space apiece).
