Actually, I *have* been busy. :) This is what I decided to do to get my mind off my work. Unfortunately it ate up a couple of hours of my afternoon today which is *not* what I had in mind, so I'm going to have to work late.
A comment and an addition, I'd really drop the use of 'slave' entirely, it also has a totally different meaning for bind, ie, a caching only nameserver that passes all requests to another server, which is nothing related to being a 'secondary' ... isc has mostly avoided using the term lately because of this also...
Really? You sure? Let's debate this...Both my Webmin and my bind-8.2.3 docs (everything I've read) uses master zone and slave zone to refer to the relationship. Also, my named.conf file uses the "type master" and "type slave" directives to describe a zone.
Let's try to figure out who's right on this one... I'm very confident in my definition but that doesn't mean I'm *right*. To me, a caching-only nameserver is a caching-only nameserver, and passing all requests to another is "forwarding." No relation to being a slave that I know of.
