The zone-dist command lets you define and manage zone distribution

configurations.

On local clusters, the zone-dist sync command synchronizes staged

edits to the DNS server and synchronizes primary zones to

secondaries. Regardless of the mode selected, the exact list of

authoritative zones (primary and secondary) is synchronized with

the DNS server.

On the regional cluster, the zone-dist sync command synchronizes

primary zones from the regional configuration to the primary

local cluster, and synchronizes primary zones to secondaries.

Primary zones on the local cluster are replaced in Update or

Complete mode. In Exact mode, extra primary zones found on the

local cluster are deleted.

Secondary servers use the same synchronization logic at both

local and regional clusters. In Update mode, synchronization

ensures only that corresponding secondary zones exist on the

server. In Complete mode, any existing zones are updated to

use the master servers list specified by the distribution map.

In Exact mode, any zones not matching the distribution map

are deleted.

Use the [no-rrs] and [no-secondaries] flags to skip portions

of the synchronization logic. While using these flags might

improve the performance of the command, use them only when you

are certain there are no changes pending. For example, if

primary zones are current with the DNS server, you can use

the [no-rrs] flag to synchronize your secondary zones.

On local clusters, RRs are always synchronized to the local DNS server

if changes are pending, and thus the [no-rrs] flag is ignored.
