Ok, first let me thank Alan et al for clearing up the initial topic and making the problem more visible than me was able to.
Just for the papers, we are hosting some hundred domains, and of course we are able to handle sed. We can change the config regarding this issue. But to us it was clearly time to at least present the idea to configure zones based on a user-defined default zone entry. This would clarify (and shorten) the config quite a bit. Something like: zone "default1" { type master; allow-update { 127.0.0.1; }; }; zone "default-slave" { type slave; masters { 10.0.0.1; 10.0.0.2; }; }; zone "mytest.domain" { default1; file "a_zone_file_for_mytest.domain"; }; zone "our-slave.domain" { default-slave; file "just_some_domain.bak"; }; This would allow multiple default entries and still give a trivial overview inside the config. To me, it looks easy to implement, does not interfere with what is there and still gives the option of defining something "semi-global". The "all-but-one" case is trivial with such a definition option. What do you think? -- Regards, Stephan von Krawczynski -- MfG, Stephan von Krawczynski ------------------------------------------------------ ith Kommunikationstechnik GmbH Lieferanschrift : Reiterstrasse 24, D-94447 Plattling Telefon : +49 9931 9188 0 Fax : +49 9931 9188 44 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Stephan von Krawczynski Registergericht : Deggendorf HRB 1625 ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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
