master
slave
slave
zone is a replica of a master zone. The
masters
list specifies one or more IP addresses that the
slave contacts to update its copy of the zone. If file
is specified, then the replica will be written to the file. Use of
file
is recommended, since it often speeds server startup
and eliminates a needless waste of bandwidth.
stub
stub
zone is like a slave zone, except that it replicates
only the NS records of a master zone instead of the entire zone.
hint
hint
zone. When the server starts up, it uses the root hints
to find a root nameserver and get the most recent list of root nameservers.
Note: previous releases of BIND used the term primary for a master zone, secondary for a slave zone, and cache for a hint zone.
The zone's name may optionally be followed by a class. If a class is not
specified, class in
is used.
check-names
allow-query
allow-query
in the
Access Control section.
allow-update
allow-transfer
allow-transfer
in
the Access Control section.
max-transfer-time-in
max-transfer-time-in
in
the Zone Transfers section.
notify
notify
in
the Boolean Options section.
also-notify
also-notify
is only meaningful if notify
is
active for this zone. The set of machines that will receive a DNS
NOTIFY message for this zone is made up of all the listed nameservers
for the zone (other than the primary master) plus any IP addresses
specified with also-notify
. also-notify
is not
meaningful for stub
zones. The default is the empty list.
