The following sections explain the various options.
Pathname Options
The pathname options specify information such as the working directory of the server, the
pathname of the dump file, the memory statistics file and so on for the various options in the
options statement. Table 1-4 describes all the available pathname options.
Table 1-4 Pathname Options
DescriptionOption
This option specifies the working directory of the server. Any
non-absolute pathnames in the configuration file are considered
relative to this directory. directory specifies the default location
for most of the server output files (for example, named.run).
If you do not specify a directory, the working directory defaults to
‘.’, the directory from where the server is started. The directory
specified must be an absolute path.
directory path_name;
This option specifies the pathname to the named-xfer program
used by the server for inbound zone transfers. If you do not specify
the pathname, the default pathname is system dependent (for
example /usr/sbin/name-d-xfer).
named-xfer path_name;
This option specifies the pathname of the file to which the server
dumps the database with the rndc dumpdb command. The default
file name is dump.db.
dump-file path_name;
This option specifies the pathname of the file to which the server
writes memory statistics on exit, if the value for the
deallocate-on-exit option is yes. If you do not specify the
pathname, the default file is named.memstats.
memstatistics-file path_name;
This option specifies the pathname of the file to which the server
appends statistics using the rndc stats command. If you do not
specify a file name in the pathname, the default file used is
named.stats.
statistics-file path_name;
This option specifies the pathname of the file to which the server
writes its process ID. If you do not specify the path name, the default
pathname is /var/run/named.pid or /etc/named.pid. The
pid-file is used by programs that send signals to the running
name server.
pid-file path_name;
Specifies the directory where the public and private key files can be
found, if the current directory is not the working directory.
key-directory path_name;
Specifies the path name of the file to which the server writes memory
usage statistics. The default file name is named.memstats.
memstatistics-file path_name;
Boolean Options
Boolean options are options in the options statement for which you can specify either the value
yes or the value no, to active or deactivate the option, respectively. Table 1-5 describes all the
available Boolean options.
