Hello Everyone,
having added the xfrnets option to the named.boot file with the addresses
of our secondary Name Servers and restarted named daemon, I got such lines
in daemon.log file:
Jan 19 15:50:29 alpha named[246]: reloading nameserver
Jan 19 15:50:30 alpha named[246]: xfrnets element (212.20.31.125) mask
problem (212.20.31.0)
Jan 19 15:50:30 alpha named[246]: xfrnets element (193.124.83.69) mask
problem (193.124.83.0)
Jan 19 15:50:30 alpha named[246]: Ready to answer queries.
An extract from the documentation:
XFRNETS (origin: Paul Vixie of Digital)
enables the "xfrnets" command in named.boot. this has the same
syntax as "forwarders" and "sortlist" -- that is, a list of dotted quads.
each one is a network (16.0.0.0 and 130.180.0.0 are examples) or a host.
^^^^^^^^^
Nevertheless, replacing the host addresses with the network's ones
(xxx.xxx.xxx.0) provided a smooth restart:
Jan 19 16:21:13 alpha named[246]: reloading nameserver
Jan 19 16:21:13 alpha named[246]: Ready to answer queries.
Can anyone explain it?
Thanks,
Irene
