Configuring Master Zones
A sample configuration unit for a master zone is shown here:
Example:
zone “43.10.15.IN-ADDR.ARPA” {
type master;
file “zone.15.10.43”;
};
The file zone.15.10.43 will have entries like:
IN SOA bindserver.india.hp.com. bind_admin.india.hp.com. (
104 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh every 3 hours
3600 ; Retry every hour
604800 ; Expire after a week
86400 ) ; Minimum ttl of 1 day
IN NS bindserver.india.hp.com.
1 IN PTR m1.india.hp.com.
2 IN PTR m2.india.hp.com.
3 IN PTR m3.india.hp.com.
4 IN PTR m4.india.hp.com.
5 IN PTR m5.india.hp.com.
Configuring Slave Zones
A sample configuration unit for a slave zone is shown here:
zone “41.10.15.IN-ADDR.ARPA” {
type slave;
file “zone.15.10.41”;
masters {
15.70.188.45;
};
};
The IP address of the server that is primary for that domain is specified
in the masters { } section of the configuration. There could be more than
one master for a given zone.
When the nameserver comes up, looking at this configuration, it makes
a connection with the nameserver running on 15.70.188.45 and does
zone transfer, if required. It also makes a local copy of this file.
