NOTIFY and Zone Reload.

[vincent.blondel at ing.be]

Hello,

I just finished configuring my SunOS 5.8 sparc server with ISC BIND
9.4.1-P1 (dmz server). It is running fine except I noticed what I called
a strange behaviour.

All these servers get two network interfaces, one listening on the
Internet, the other one listening on internal network. So I created two
views, the first one "External" getting requests from the Internet users
and the other one "Internal" getting requests coming our internal
network.

The internal view also receives NOTIFY from another server located on
internal network and this is exactly where I get the strange behaviour.
When I update the zone on my internal server, I then reload the process
and a NOTIFY is sent into my dmz server. Another detail I just get one
copy of each zone on the hard drive on the dmz server. This means each
zone is loaded in the internal view and a second time on the external
view.

After the record update, I query my dmz server from internal view,
record is updated but if I run this same query from the external view,
record is not updated.

So in conclusion, it seems the NOTIFY just reload the memory space
corresponding to the view where the NOTIFY packet comes from.

My question ?

What can I do to reload this same zone on the entire process ( in other
words for all views including the zone file ) when I send a NOTIFY
message from internal view.

Regards
Vincent
