Hi,
I am migrating from bind 8.2.4 to bind 9. Our house master and all but
two slave are running bind 8.2.4. I replaced one of the main
production slaves with an AIX 5.2 box running 9.2 last week.
The new slave, and a backup AIX 5.1 box running 9.2.1 are performing
well except in one area: we add and delete zones regularly because we
are a "project" support site and we have customers with different name
and IP zones coming-and-going regularly. The bind 9 production (and
backup) box NEVER transfer/service the new zones. rndc requests
don't help. refresh -s named doesn't help. I've had to resort to
kill-9 and restarting (TERM takes too long as the servers are always
very busy). Needless to say, this is completely unacceptable.
Our procedure for updating DNS is a much-modified "h2n" within a shell
that runs on the master and "rdists" the changed named.conf files to
our slave servers. Worked great on V4. Works great on V8 - the slaves
AXFR the new zones pretty quickly.
Doesn't work at ALL on bind 9. So I am missing something, and it must
be something in the configuration.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Mary
