DNS Windows To Linux Zone Transfer?

rootking · 09-12-2004, 01:10 AM

I have a Windows domain as clubpeb.org and want to create a secondary zone in Linux. How do I make a slave as the secondary zone in linux and do a zone transfer from the clubpeb.org domain in Windows' DNS to the Linux slave?

thanks

On the Linux box, you need an entry something like this in your named.conf:

Code:

    zone "clubpeb.com" {
            type slave;
            file "slave/db.clubpeb.com";
            masters { 192.168.1.10; }; // this is the IP of the master DNS server for this zone
            // some security
            allow-transfer { localnets; };  // "localnets" means the subnets that all of the NICs on this machine are attached to
            allow-query { any; };
    };

On the Windows server you need to make sure that you allow AXFR requests from the IP of the Linux box.
