Definition and Use
The options statement sets up global options to be used by BIND. This
statement may appear at only once in a configuration file; if more than
one occurrence is found, the first occurrence determines the actual
options used, and a warning will be generated. If there is no options
statement, an options block with each option set to its default will be
used.
Pathnames directory The working directory of the server. Any non-absolute
pathnames in the configuration file will be taken as
relative to this directory. The default location for most
server output files, for example, “named.run” is this
directory. If a directory is not specified, the working
directory defaults to “.”, the directory from which the
server was started. The directory specified should be an
absolute path.
named-xfer The pathname to the named-xfer program that the
server uses for inbound zone transfers. If not specified,
the default is system dependent for example,
“/usr/sbin/named-xfer”.
dump-file The pathname of the file the server dumps the database
to when it receives SIGINT signal (ndc dumpdb). If not
specified, the default is “named_dump.db”.
memstatistics-
file The pathname of the file the server writes memory
usage statistics to on exit, if deallocate-on-exit is
yes. If not specified, the default is “named.memstats”.
