[knot-dns-users] Setting up slave zone (slave DNS server)

Setting up slave zone (slave DNS server) I’ve asked the previous question Setting up slave zone (slave DNS server) <https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-dns/issues/667>. And I’ve followed Libor Peltan’s advice to also configure the zone in the slave side. But It still didn’t work for me. Config knot.conf in *master* server # This is a sample of a minimal configuration file for Knot DNS. # See knot.conf(5) or refer to the server documentation. server: rundir: "/run/knot" user: knot:knot listen: [ 127.0.0.1@53, ::1@53 ] log: - target: syslog any: info database: storage: "/var/lib/knot" remote: - id: slave1 address: 111.11.11.111@53 acl: - id: slave1_acl address: 111.11.11.111 action: transfer template: - id: default storage: "/var/lib/knot" file: "%s.zone" zone: # # Master zone # - domain: example.com # notify: slave # acl: acl_slave # # Slave zone # - domain: example.net # master: master # acl: acl_master knot.conf in my *slave* server # This is a sample of a minimal configuration file for Knot DNS. # See knot.conf(5) or refer to the server documentation. server: rundir: "/run/knot" user: knot:knot listen: [ 127.0.0.1@53, ::1@53 ] log: - target: syslog any: info database: storage: "/var/lib/knot" remote: - id: master1 address: 222.22.22.222@53 acl: - id: master1_acl address: 222.22.22.2222 action: notify template: - id: default storage: "/var/lib/knot" file: "%s.zone" zone: # # Master zone # - domain: example.com # notify: slave # acl: acl_slave # # Slave zone # - domain: example.net # master: master # acl: acl_master conf-read result conf-read in *master* server [root@knot-master-1 centos]# knotc conf-read server.rundir = /run/knot server.user = knot:knot server.listen = 127.0.0.1@53 ::1@53 log.target = syslog log[syslog].any = info database.storage = /var/lib/knotacl.id = slave1_acl acl[slave1_acl].address = 222.22.22.222 acl[slave1_acl].action = transferremote.id = slave1 remote[slave1].address = 222.22.22.222(a)53template.id = default template[default].storage = /var/lib/knot template[default].file = %s.zone zone.domain = namadomain.com. zone[namadomain.com.].file = namadomain.com.zone zone[namadomain.com.].notify = slave1 zone[namadomain.com.].acl = slave1_acl conf-read in *slave* server [root@knot-slave-1 centos]# knotc conf-read server.rundir = /run/knot server.user = knot:knot server.listen = 127.0.0.1@53 ::1@53 log.target = syslog log[syslog].any = info database.storage = /var/lib/knotacl.id = master1_acl acl[master1_acl].address = 111.11.11.111 acl[master1_acl].action = notifyremote.id = master1 remote[master1].address = 111.11.11.111(a)53template.id = default template[default].storage = /var/lib/knot template[default].file = %s.zone zone.domain = namadomain.com. zone[namadomain.com.].master = master1 zone[namadomain.com.].acl = master1_acl Zone Read zone-read in *master* server [root@knot-master-1 centos]# knotc zone-read -- [namadomain.com.] namadomain.com. 86400 TXT "hello" [namadomain.com.] namadomain.com. 86400 SOA ns1.biz.net.id. hostmaster.biz.net.id. 2018070411 3600 3600 604800 38400 zone-read in *slave* server [root@knot-slave-1 centos]# knotc zone-read -- [namadomain.com.] namadomain.com. 86400 SOA ns1.biz.net.id. hostmaster.biz.net.id. 2018070410 3600 3600 604800 38400 Steps I use to create a zone in *master* server knotc conf-begin knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com]' knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com].file' 'namadomain.com.zone' knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com].notify' 'slave1' knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com].acl' 'slave1_acl' knotc conf-commit knotc zone-begin namadomain.com knotc zone-set namadomain.com. @ 86400 SOA ns1.biz.net.id. hostmaster.biz.net.id. 2018070410 3600 3600 604800 38400 knotc zone-set namadomain.com. @ 86400 TXT "hello" knotc zone-commit namadomain.com in *slave* server knotc conf-begin knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com]' knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com].master' 'master1' knotc conf-set 'zone[namadomain.com].acl' 'master1_acl' knotc conf-commit knotc zone-begin namadomain.com knotc zone-set namadomain.com. @ 86400 SOA ns1.biz.net.id. hostmaster.biz.net.id. 2018070410 3600 3600 604800 38400 knotc zone-commit namadomain.com Problems If we look closely. I’ve crated the configuration of namadomain.com in *both* master and slave servers. Also I’ve created the SOA record of of namadomain.com in *both* master and slave servers. But I only create file config in *master* server and TXT record in *master* server (to test if AXFR zone transfer worked). Unfortunately, the file config and the TXT record is not created by slave, even though I’ve waited for more than hour (1 day actually). Am I missing something here? (I never put the zone directly in zone: section of knot.conf, I always use knotc since I will use libknot control.py to manage zones with our app <https://github.com/BiznetGIO/RESTKnot>) Also am I able to see if the knot in master emit the transfer ‘signal’ and check if knot in slave receive that signal? So It will make me easier to debug. I’ve tried to trigger knotc zone-notify namadomain.com in *master* side, and knotc zone-retransfer namadomain.com in *slave* side. But nothing changed. [root@knot-master-1 centos]# knotc zone-notify namadomain.com OK [root@knot-master-1 centos]# knotc zone-read -- [namadomain.com.] namadomain.com. 86400 TXT "hello" [namadomain.com.] namadomain.com. 86400 SOA ns1.biz.net.id. hostmaster.biz.net.id. 2018070411 3600 3600 604800 38400 [root@knot-slave-1 centos]# knotc zone-retransfer namadomain.com OK [root@knot-slave-1 centos]# knotc zone-read -- [namadomain.com.] namadomain.com. 86400 SOA ns1.biz.net.id. hostmaster.biz.net.id. 2018070410 3600 3600 604800 38400 Machine # knotc --version knotc (Knot DNS), version 2.9.1 OS: CentOS 7.5 Thank you in advance.
