development is CHAOSnet, a LAN protocol created in the mid-1970s. Zone data for it can be specified
with the CHAOS class.
Zone Options
allow-notify
See the description of allow-notify.
allow-query
See the description of allow-query.
allow-transfer
See the description of allow-transfer.
allow-update
Specifies which hosts are allowed to submit Dynamic DNS updates for master zones. The
default is to deny updates from all hosts. Please note that this option is not applicable
for slave zones. See "Dynamic Update Policies" below for more details.
update-policy
Specifies a "Simple Secure Update" policy. See "Dynamic Update Policies" below for more
details.
allow-update-forwarding
Specifies which hosts are allowed to submit Dynamic DNS updates to slave zones to be
forwarded to the master. The default is { none; }, which means that no update for-
warding will be performed. To enable update forwarding, specify allow-update-
forwarding { any; };. Specifying values other than { none; } or { any; }
is
usually counterproductive, since the responsibility for update access control should rest
with the master server, not the slaves. Note that enabling the update forwarding feature
on a slave server may expose master servers relying on insecure IP address based access
control to attacks;
also-notify
Only meaningful if notify is active for this zone. The set of machines that will receive a
DNS NOTIFY message for this zone is made up of all the listed nameservers (other than
the primary master) for the zone plus any IP addresses specified with
also-notify.A
port may be specified with each also-notify address to send the notify messages to a
port other than the default of 53. also-notify is not meaningful for stub zones. The
default is the empty list.
database Specify the type of database to be used for storing the zone data. The string following the
database keyword is interpreted as a list of whitespace-delimited words. The first word
identifies the database type, and any subsequent words are passed as arguments to the
database to be interpreted in a way specific to the database type. The default is rbt,
BIND 9.2’s native in-memory red-black-tree database. This database does not take argu-
ments. Other values are possible if additional database drivers have been linked into the
server.
dialup See the description of dialup.
forward Only meaningful if the zone has a forwarders list. The only value causes the lookup to
fail after trying the forwarders and getting no answer, while first would allow a normal
lookup to be tried.
forwarders Used to override the list of global forwarders. If it is not specified in a zone of type for-
ward, no forwarding is done for the zone; the global options are not used.
max-transfer-time-in
See the description of max-transfer-time-in above.
max-transfer-idle-in
See the description of max-transfer-idle-in above.
max-transfer-time-out
See the description of max-transfer-time-out above.
max-transfer-idle-out
See the description of max-transfer-idle-out above.
