DNS axfr

[sunebeermann]

Hi

I use a free DNS service in denmark called gratisdns.dk and they offer the service of hidden primary DNS. I would like to use that instead of creating every DNS entry in gratisdns.dk when my server creates it auto. My question is how do i configure the DNS in ispCP to allow zone transfers to the servers from gratisdns.dk via AXFR???

Any help is appreciated..

Best regards.

You should add an allow-transfer directive to your /etc/bind/named.conf.options file, like:

Code:

|  options {
|     ...
+    allow-transfer {ip.of.gratisdns.dk;};
|     ...
|  }

Look at bind's docs for more info

I'd suggest using something like this to force a notify on them if something has changed.
(the ip's are fake - use the ones, gratisdns.dk provides.)

Quote:options {
....
also-notify {10.1.0.15; 172.28.32.7;}; // all zones
....
};

Okay i did try your suggestions but when i try to restart bind with /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
it returns:

Stopping domain name service...: bind.
Starting domain name service...: bind failed!

this is what is in the options part of my bind config file.

options {
allow-transfer {213.173.243.0/28;};
also-notify {213.173.243.0/28;};
};

also-notify {ip};

not the net ..

okay now bind starts again, but when i try to use the axfr from Gratisdns.dk webinterface it says that my dns do not allow connection. is there a way that i can test my dns Axfr???
