I'm being asked to create a record to point one domain name at a separate domain for which we have an SSL security certificate installed. This is due to slight variation in zone names (e.g. primary is something like cat.com and the other one is cats.com.) We are authoritative for both domains.

I think the OP was asking how to restrict queries so that they are honored only by specific DNS servers. That can certainly be done as we're doing it here. The reason for doing this might be that there are "internal" DNS servers (e.g. Windows DNS) that all the client workstations are supposed to

Actually there are a few things named will try to write into /var/named/chroot/var/named (e.g. named.run is written there for tracing when you turn it on with rndc). However rather than giving global write to the directory I've found just giving write permission to the user running named was suffi

You said you installed 9.3.4-P1. Was the update you did from a repository updated after July 10th? I believe July 10th is the day RedHat back ported the fix into 9.3.4-P1. CentOS is a binary compile of RHEL sources so it seems the 9.3.4-P1 update you would need from CentOS repositories would ha

On RHEL5 with kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 the results are OK with the -r but not without (it failed at 1022 sockets without). It makes me wonder though - does BIND (named) automatically do what the -r flag of selecttest is doing? Does it matter whether named is running as root or a different use
