Is is possible to pull down all DNS zone records?
I am setting up a secondary DNS server (Bind 9x on Suse). Is it possible to pull down all forward and reverse zone files at once without having to do them one by one?
Thanks.. |
I question what you mean by "All DNS Zone records", but newer versions of Bind support 'fast transfer' which means that multiple resource records are tranfered within a single packet. Older Bind versions only supported one record per packet which increases network traffic and takes longer.

I am refferring to transferring the zone files for this new slave DNS server. Thanks, |
You'll need two zone configuration files. One for the 'slave' of the forward lookup, and one for the 'slave' of the reverse.
Code:
zone "domain.com" { |
Understood, but..

This DNS server is hosting 4 domains and about 20 reverse records. So, rather than adding each of these manually to the named.conf, can I somehow tell bind to pull down every forward and reverse zone file off a specific DNS server? Thanks. |
