DNS Bind zone file configuration
This is a consecutive article of DNS forward and delegate - Shammerism, about zone file location, not zone file itself.
This file includes authority domain and type, it is a master or slave, and forwarder. The forwarder in this section is defined as a forwarder for specific domain. Here is a example. In generally, the file for lookup and the file for reverse lookup are required at least.
Master file should be included a db file location like below.
zone "examples.xyz" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.examples.xyz"; forwarders {}; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.192.168.1"; forwarders {}; };
Slave file doesn't include file directive, but should have master points like below.
zone "examples.xyz" { type slave; masters { 9.9.9.99; }; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type slave; masters { 9.9.9.99; }; };
