Oh I know that use cases exist. But these are people who don't want to accept the new paradigm in the time of DNSSEC and beyond. That's what I'm suggesting: shift the paradigm. :) There are other side benefits of maintaining a dynamic zone the "proper" way: you get IXFR, for historical data and shorter, faster transfer to slaves. And for the OP, this would seem to solve his problem: never freeze, never worry about whether or not a zone is frozen. :) -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject: _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
