Hi,
Sorry to come back again, but it seems we still have an issue:
Knot is not serving our secondary zones after restarting, until we issue
a "knotc zone-retransfer sub3.company.com". Then it will start answering
queries for the zone.
A knot restart logs:
knotd[4436]: info: [
sub3.company.com.] zone will be
loaded
knotd[4436]: info: [
sub3.company.com.] zone loaded from journal, serial 2016110905
knotd[4436]: info: [
sub3.company.com.] failed to parse zone file (not exists)
To demonstrate, after having restarted knot:

In knot.conf, we have set as a template: journal-content: all, and the
secondary zone is defined like:
- domain:
sub3.company.com
storage: /var/lib/knot/zones
master: zones_master
acl: notify_from_master
As a side note: the directory /var/lib/knot/zones contains nothing
sub3.company.com related. (which explains the knot startup message
"failed to parse zone file (not exists)")
Why would knot after restart load the zone from journal, but not start
serving it? Have I misconfigured something?
Sorry to have asked so many questions in just two days. :-)
