Can't transfer RFC2317 reverse zone
I'm trying to setup a new server as a slave to our master DNS server. I am able to transfer several zones just fine, but when will not transfer. AT&T uses RFC2317-style zones for reverse delegation, so I've been delegated 0/27.146.68.12.in-addr.arpa. However, when I fired up BIND and tried to transfer the zone from the master, I get this in the logs: 30-Jul-2009 13:18:37.094 zone 0/27.146.68.12.in-addr.arpa/IN/com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public: Transfer started. 30-Jul-2009 13:18:37.096 transfer of '0/27.146.68.12.in-addr.arpa/IN/com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public' from 12.68.146.1#53: connected using 206.123.100.18#52732 30-Jul-2009 13:18:37.100 dumping master file: bak.0/tmp-Yj75Mq2ImU: open: file not found 30-Jul-2009 13:18:37.100 transfer of '0/27.146.68.12.in-addr.arpa/IN/com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public' from 12.68.146.1#53: failed while receiving responses: file not found 30-Jul-2009 13:18:37.100 transfer of '0/27.146.68.12.in-addr.arpa/IN/com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public' from 12.68.146.1#53: end of transfer >From what I have seen on this list, BIND typically spits out this error when it doesn't have write permission on its working directory. However, I know this is not the case because it transferred a dozen other zones just fine. Its only barfing on this one reverse zone. I'm guessing that it has something to do with how BIND names the temp files it creates for writing slave zones, combined with the fact that there is a "/" (forward slash) in the name it would like to write? I've been searching for a way to specify the name of the temp file BIND uses, but I've had no luck finding that. Any thoughts or ideas on how I can get this slave zone to transfer correctly? ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

Now you could use > 'file "bak.0.27.146.68.12.in-addr.arpa";' or you could > create the directory "bak.0". I would choose the former. Nope, no such file exists. I've got bak.* for all my other zones, but not that one. Believe me, I would love to be able to switch that slash to a hyphen, but thats how it was delegated to me. How would I go about changing it? Since the zone I am delegated contains the slash, would I have to CNAME the zone on my end? Wouldn't I still have the same problem with the CNAME'd zone? ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

Whoops, sorry missed those. Thanks!
