Dynamically add zones

[Dan Durrer]

options {

   ...
    new-zone-file "/etc/named.d/new_zones.list";

};

include "/etc/named.d/new_zones.list";



## new_zones.list
zone mynewzone.com { type slave; file "mynewzone.com";  masters { 1.1.1.1; };  };



script rndc_addzone.sh
-------
#!/bin/bash


echo "Adding Zone"  ${1}
cd /var/named

rndc addzone ${1} { type slave\;\
                    file \"${1}\"\; \ masters { 1.1.1.1\; \
                            }\; \ }\;
------------

 
Running rndc delzone mynewzone.com does remove the zone from the new_zones.list file
