HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 4 File Formats (vol 8)

(BIND 9.3)
NAME
named.conf - configuration file for Internet domain name server
SYNOPSIS
/etc/named.conf
DESCRIPTION
named.conf is the configuration file for the
named name server daemon. The default path name is
/etc/named.conf
.
BIND 9 configuration is broadly similar to BIND 8.x. However, there are a few new areas of configuration,
such as views. BIND 8.x configuration files should work with few alterations in BIND 9.3, although more
complex configurations need to be reviewed to see if they can be more efficiently implemented using the
new features implemented in BIND 9.3. BIND 4.9.7 configuration files can be converted to the BIND 9.3
format using the shell script,
/usr/bin/named-bootconf.sh
.
Syntax Rules
In the syntax descriptions in this manpage, the following typographic rules apply:
literal Characters in this font should be entered as is.
variable Characters in this font should be replaced with appropriate values.
( ) Parentheses are metacharacters that enclose required content. (The brace characters (
{})
are used in the configuration syntax as block delimiters.)
[ ] Brackets are metacharacters that enclose optional content.
| Bars within parentheses and brackets are metacharacters that separate alternatives.
token ... [ ]... ( )...
Trailing ellipses are metacharacters that indicate that the previous token, parenthesized
item, or bracketed item may be repeated.
Configuration File Elements
The following configuration elements are used in the BIND 9.3 configuration file grammar:
acl_name The name of an address_match_list as defined by an
acl statement.
address_match_list
A list of one or more ip_addr, ip_prefix, key_id,oracl_name elements.
dialup_option One of
yes,
no, notify, notify-passive, refresh,orpassive. When used in a
zone,
notify-passive, refresh
, and passive are restricted to slave and stub
zones.
domain_name A quoted string that is used as a DNS name; for example,
"my.test.domain"
.
dotted_decimal One or more integers valued 0 through 255 separated only by periods (
.), such as 123,
45.67,or89.123.45.67 .
ip4_addr An IPv4 address with exactly four elements in dotted_decimal notation.
ip6_addr An IPv6 address, such as
fe80::200:f8ff:fe01:9742.
ip_addr An ip4_addr or ip6_addr.
ip_port An IP port number. This is limited to 0 through 65535, with values below 1024 typically
restricted to root-owned processes. In some cases, an asterisk (
*) character can be used as
a placeholder to select a random high-numbered port.
ip_prefix An IP network specified as an ip_addr, followed by a slash (/) and then the number of bits
in the netmask. Trailing zero elements in ip_addr may be omitted. For example, 127/8
is the network 127.0.0.0 with netmask 255.0.0.0 and 1.2.3.0/28 is the network
1.2.3.0 with netmask 255.255.255.240.
key_id A domain_name representing the name of a shared key, to be used for transaction security.
key_list A list of one or more key_ids, separated by semicolons and ending with a semicolon.
number A nonnegative 32-bit unsigned integer (that is, a number between 0 and 4294967295,
inclusive). Its acceptable value might further be limited by the context in which it is used.
