[SOLVED]Enabling AXFR DNS Zone Transfers - Martini - 02-13-2011 08:16 AM

Hello,

I don't have my own NS1 and NS2 servers, so I'll be running my domains with a secondary DNS service - BuddyNS. It's all clear and fine on how to get connected to it, but I'm stuck on one thing: enabling the AXFR transfers from Bind to BuddyNS servers.

Here's what BuddyNS say needs to be done to enable AXFR:
Quote:1. locate the options { section in your main configuration file /etc/bind/named.conf (or one of the files it includes).For example:
options {
[ ... some stuff ... ]
}
2. you add this one line in that block (provide BuddyNS with the zone data to serve):
options {
[ ... some stuff ... ]
allow-transfer {
173.244.206.26; # a.transfer.buddyns.com
74.117.59.111; # b.transfer.buddyns.com
};
}
3. tell BIND to UPdate with the new configuration: run as root this command:
killall -HUP named

I have no idea which conf file to put these "allow-transfer" lines to. My named.conf is empty and only includes an /etc/named-ispcp.conf file, but I couldn't find that file and other named.conf files I've found on my system don't have the "options" section. I'd like to edit bind configuration so that every domain on my server will get transfered to BuddyNS.

Please advice,
Martini
