greetings,
I have exported my zone files to 10.3.1 server. i edited the files
manually, when i started dns through server admin. it over-wrote my
forward zone file.
in this file i have many " $INCLUDE dir/file.db " statements
example;
@ IN SOA mydomin.com. hostmaster.mydomain.com. (
2003121801 ; Serial number
10800 ; Refresh every 3hours
3600 ; Retry every hour
604800 ; Expire every 7 days
86400 ) ; Minimum 2 days
;
;Name Servers
;
IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
;
IN MX 10 mail.mydomain.com.
IN A 192.168.0.2
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
;
; aliases
pop IN CNAME mail.mydomain.com.
;
host-1.mydomain.com. IN A 192.168.0.1
mail.mydomain.com. IN A 192.168.0.2
host-3.mydomain.com. IN A 192.168.0.3
;
;;; include these inside forward files
;
;forward files
;
;loc1
$INCLUDE fwd-loc1/192.168.1.db
$INCLUDE fwd-loc2/192.168.2.db
$INCLUDE fwd-loc3/192.168.3.db
$INCLUDE fwd-loc4/192.168.4.db
the system did not like this. it omitted the line completely and
over-wrote the config.
please tell me that i am not going to have to enter all of my entry's
in big file. Or did i format the file incorrectly? Bind 8 works fine
like this.
see reference pg. 158, 162 DNS & BIND 4th ed.
