You may be interested in using circular buffers, instead of a log file. http://www.finalcog.com/replace-logs-emlog-circular-buffer I've used emlog successfully in the past and been very pleased with it's performance. Hope this is useful. Chris. 2009/4/29 Scott Haneda : > I have read the other

No, we've had to work around these limitations of axfr/notify, so that we can take this concern away from our customers. I would love to find a nice bind-supported way of dealing with views/axfr/notify, so if you find anything, please let me know. Thanks, Chris http://www.finalcog.com 2009/3/2

You could use the ecrypt fs for the location of the zone data - it would require a passphrase when bind starts up on the slave - this could cause trouble if the slave crashes. In general there is NO way of having encrypted data on a machine AND having the keys on that same machine AND making it 10

I would use a #include in the zone file on the internal machine to include the contents of zone file on the external machine. (NFS mount, or cron'ed rsync copy.) You could use views/split horizon dns and run them both off of one server, but this seems unneeded and nasty. http://www.finalcog.com/d

Have you considered dynamically regenerating view definitions based on your rules? If the results of your rules are stable for minutes at a time, it may work. Regards, Chris. 2008/12/5 Ken DBA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > --- On Fri, 12/5/08, Kevin Darcy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > From: K
