question about overlapping reverse zones

2011-08-09 Thread Christian Pinedo Zamalloa
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to configure in Bind overlapping reverse zones. For example, load all reverse zones for IPv4 private addressing that come configured by default with the package Bind of my Linux distribution: zone "10.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/

Memory utilisation problem on busy bind resolver

New version of nsdiff

2011-08-09 Thread Tony Finch
The "nsdiff" program examines old and new versions of a DNS zone and outputs the differences as a script for use by BIND's nsupdate program. It allows you to continue to manually maintain flat text master files as before, and feed the changes you make into named's easy dynamic DNSSEC support. This

Unless I'm very mistaken, an "AD Integrated" (as opposed to "primary"/"secondary") zone cannot be protected by DNSSEC. (remember having read this in the MS's DNSSEC document). Also (in that document) : max algorithm supported is 5 (RSASHA1). This means that using MS DNS as validating caching name
