Bind 9 Administrator Reference Manual
Chapter 6. BIND 9 Configuration Reference
forward
Only meaningful if the zone has a forwarders list. The only value causes the lookup to fail after
trying the forwarders and getting no answer, while first would allow a normal lookup to be tried.
forwarders
Used to override the list of global forwarders. If it is not specified in a zone of type forward, no
forwarding is done for the zone; the global options are not used.
ixfr-base
Was used in BIND 8 to specify the name of the transaction log (journal) file for dynamic update and
IXFR. BIND 9 ignores the option and constructs the name of the journal file by appending ".jnl"
to the name of the zone file.
ixfr-tmp-file
Was an undocumented option in BIND 8. Ignored in BIND 9.
max-transfer-time-in
See the description of max-transfer-time-in in Section 6.2.14.6.

max-transfer-time-out
See the description of max-transfer-time-out in Section 6.2.14.6.
max-transfer-idle-out
See the description of max-transfer-idle-out in Section 6.2.14.6.
notify
See the description of notify in Section 6.2.14.1.
pubkey
In BIND 8, this option was intended for specifying a public zone key for verification of signatures
in DNSSEC signed zones when they are loaded from disk. BIND 9 does not verify signatures on
loading and ignores the option.
