SET CONFIGURATION BIND
SET CONFIGURATION BIND
Configures the BIND name server. Creates the BIND server configuration file,
which holds the following information:
• Cluster alias or aliases
• Server type (primary, secondary, or forwarding)
• Domains to be served
• Location from which the BIND server gets initial information for lookups
You can configure the BIND server as follows:
• For one or more Internet domains
• As one kind of BIND server (primary, secondary, or forwarding)
• As multiple kinds of BIND servers
• On TCP/IP clusters for cluster load balancing
This command does not create a BIND 8.1 configuration. If you want to take
full advantage of the new features available with the BIND 8.1 implementation,
you should set up your BIND environment by editing the TCPIP$BIND.CONF
configuration file. Refer to the HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management
manual for detailed instructions.
If you choose to configure your BIND environment with the SET
CONFIGURATION BIND command, you must enter the command
CONVERT/CONFIGURATION BIND before running BIND.

Qualifiers
/CACHE=([NO]DOMAIN:do,[NO]FILE:file)
Optional. Default: None.
Specifies the cache server for the specified domain. Do not use with
/FORWARDERS. Use with /PRIMARY and /SECONDARY.
The cache tells the primary or secondary server how to use hints to find the file.
These hints let a server find a root name server. With this ability, the server
can answer requests even if it does not have the information. You can use the
following options:
• DOMAIN keys to a particular record within a type.
