BIND 9.11.0a3, the third alpha development pre-release of BIND 9.11, is now available for download from ISC's website: http://www.isc.org/downloads
This release includes the debut of an experimental new 9.11 feature, catalog zones. Catalog zones are designed to allow easier dynamic configuration of zones on secondary servers than previous methods, as described in this snippet from the release announcement: A special zone of a new type, a catalog zone (CZ), is set up on the master and secondary servers in the normal way. Once a catalog zone is configured, when an operator wishes to add a new zone to the nameserver constellation s/he can provision the zone on the master server and add an entry describing the zone to the catalog zone. As the secondary servers receive the updated copy of the catalog zone data they will note the new entry and automatically create a zone for it, pull the zone data from the master server in the normal way, and begin serving the zone. Deletion of a zone listed in a CZ is done by deleting the entry in the catalog zone data. The update of the CZ data on the secondary servers will cause them to stop serving the zone in question and to delete it from the secondaries, after which the operator can manually remove the zone from the master server. We'd like your feedback on catalog zones and the other new features in the development release. Please see the release notes at: ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.11.0a3/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.11.0a3.html and give the new release a try if you have a chance. _______________________________________________ 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
