HP-UX Reference (11i v2 03/08) - 4 File Formats (vol 8)

NAME
named.conf - configuration file for NameDaemon
SYNOPSIS
/etc/named.conf
DESCRIPTION
BIND 9 configuration is broadly similar to BIND 8.x. However, there are a few new areas of
configuration, such as views. BIND 8.x configuration files should work with few alterations in BIND 9.2,
although more complex configurations need to be reviewed to check if they can be more efficiently imple-
mented using the new features implemented in BIND 9.2. BIND 4.9.7 configuration files can be con-
verted to the BIND 9.2 format using the shell script,
/usr/bin/named-bootconf.sh
.
Configuration File Elements
The following configuration elements are used in BIND 9.2 configuration file documentation:
acl_name The name of an address_match_list as defined by the
acl statement.
address_match_list
A list of one or more ip_addr, ip_prefix, key_id, or acl_name elements.
domain_name
A quoted string which will be used as a DNS name, for example my.test.domain
.
dotted_decimal
One or more integers valued 0 through 255 separated only by dots (.), such as 123, 45.67
or 89.123.45.67.
ip4_addr An IPv4 address with exactly four elements in dotted_decimal notation.
ip6_addr An IPv6 address, such as fe80::200:f8ff:fe01:9742.
ip_addr An ip4_addr or ip6_addr .
ip_port An IP port number. This is limited to 0 through 65535, with values below 1024 typically
restricted to root-owned processes. In some cases, an asterisk (*) character can be used
as a placeholder to select a random high-numbered port.
ip_prefix An IP network specified as an ip_addr , followed by a slash (
/) and then the number of
bits in the netmask. Trailing zeros in ip_addr may be omitted. For example, 127/8 is the
network 127.0.0.0 with netmask 255.0.0.0 and 1.2.3.0/28 is network 1.2.3.0 with netmask
255.255.255.240.
key_id A domain_name representing the name of a shared key, to be used for transaction secu-
rity.
key_list A list of one or more key_ids , separated by semicolons and ending with a semicolon.
number A non-negative 32-bit unsigned integer (i.e., a number between 0 and 4294967295,
inclusive). Its acceptable value might further be limited by the context in which it is
used.
path_name A quoted string which will be used as a pathname, such as
zones/master/my.test.domain.
size_spec A number, the word "unlimited", or the word "default". An unlimited size_spec requests
unlimited use, or the maximum available amount. A default size_spec uses the limit that
was in force when the server was started. A number can optionally be followed by a scal-
ing factor: "K" or "k" for kilobytes, "M" or "m" for megabytes, and "G" or "g" for gigabytes,
which scale by 1024, 1024*1024, and 1024*1024*1024 respectively. The value must be
representable as a 64-bit unsigned integer (0 to 18446744073709551615, inclusive).
Using "unlimited" is the best way to set a really large number.
yes_or_no Either "yes" or "no". The words "true" and "false" are also accepted, as are the numbers 1
and 0.
dialup_option
One of yes, no, notify, notify-passive, refresh or passive . When used in a zone, notify-
passive, refresh, and passive are restricted to slave and stub zones.
