I'm currently in the process of automating the deployment of a DNS server with Ansible[0]. Ansible allows the creation of so-called "roles", e.g. I can create a role "blog" that will deploy set up a database for a blog, install an nginx configuration and then reload the webserver. A role is supposed to contain all configuration for a logical unit (e.g. a website or some other service).
What I would like to achieve is to be able to bundle a domain zone with such a role. The deployment would then copy the zone file to a certain directory and reload bind. In Nginx, I can use the include directive as follows: > include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; Bind seems to lack an equivalent syntax. That means that even if I copy a self-contained zone file to the zones directory, I still have to manually register the zone in the named.conf.local file. Is there a way to get Bind to automatically include config files in a directory? If not, might it make sense to place a feature request for this with the Bind developers? If yes, what would the process be for such a request? Or is there a better alternative to this approach?
