Hi..I want to configure a slave BIND DNS to automatically get the master zone abc.com update from a windows DNS server (172.16.1.42). Below is the my /etc/named.conf file. more /etc/named.conf zone "abc.com" in { type slave; file "db.abc"; masters { 172.16.1.42; }; allow-transfer { any; }; allow-query { any;}; notify yes; }; Is that correct? Can BIND get the update from Windows DNS? I have question on the zone file db.abc, since this is a slave DNS zone, do I have to create this file by myself or it will auto copy the info from the windows DNS master? Then where this file supposed to be if I need to creat it or auto-created during transfer? How do I verify the master zone record being transfered to here? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
