Compiling BIND9 on CentOS 7

[Sean Son]

Thank you for your responses guys.  Here is a n00b question: Because this
new server will be a slave DNS server, do I have to manually copy the zone
files from the current slave DNS server (The CentOS 5.11) one, or does the
new server automatically get the zones from the master DNS server?


Thanks again!
