Hi,

As per my understanding, if we change anything in named.conf and then
if we require to enable changes without service restart, we go with
rndc reconfig.

So i tried it but it does not work.

first i use recursive dns service with direct root server contact and
then i add forwarder ip and then i run rndc reconfig command but still
no effect and then i run service named restart and it comes into
effect.


key "rndckey" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "...";
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndckey"; };
};
options {
	listen-on port 53 { localhost; };
	listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
	directory 	"/var/named";
	dump-file 	"/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
        memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
	
	forwarders { 8.8.8.8; };
        allow-query-cache { 192.168.1.0/24; };
        recursion yes;


	/* Path to ISC DLV key */
	bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

	managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";

};
logging {


    channel default_syslog {
        // Send most of the named messages to syslog.
        syslog local2;
        severity debug;
    };
zone "." IN {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};


include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";
include "/etc/rndc.key";



Is there any problem with my config ?

Ben
