rndc status number of zones

2012-03-01 Thread Emil Natan
Hi list, I have a test environment with 3 VMs running different versions of BIND - 9.7.3-P3, 9.8.1-P1 and 9.9.0rc1. On all 3 machines "rndc status" reports unrealistic "number of zones:". For example, when the zones configured at named.conf are 3, the number reported is "number of zones: 18" and w

That should be it. And that's probably why adding and removing the custom root.hints file does not change the count, when enabled it's the one counted and when disabled, the build in one is counted. Thanks. ena On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 2:41 PM, Mark Andrews wrote: > > Built in root hints zones wi

Hi all, I'm trying to implement DNSSEC using BIND and SoftHSM. I'm using the pkcs11-* and dnssec-* tools to manage the keys in the HSM and sign the zones. When I store both KSK and ZSK under single slot there is no problem to create local key files with dnssec-keyfromlabel and sign the zone. What
