Hello Eric,
thank you for giving Knot DNS a try.
You are welcome
its the zone
file looks like the BIND one?
Knot DNS accepts zones in textual master files format
(RFC 1035). So the
answer is yes, if you are using the zones in "text" format.
Thanks
do I have to
create it, may be I missed the zone declaration in the Knot
manual?
With the posted configuration, you have to provide Knot DNS with
existing zone file. Just copy the zone file from BIND.
Thats easy! I will do so.
If you want to configure Knot DNS as a slave server
(see bellow), you do
not need to provide zone file at all.
Like with BIND, Great!
It is possible
to do the master to master replication from BIND to KNOT?
We do not have mechanism
for master-master replication. But I think you
are looking for master-slave replication.
NO, I got an existing master server based
on BIND9.9 that served the
domain metropolitanbuntu.co.za with slaves and would like to deployed
another master on a different network based on KNOT; so I will like the
listed domain to have 2 masters, in the way that if any record changed
in master based on BIND, KNOT must be notified without manualy changed
the another master if possible.
In fact, master and slave functionality is orthogonal:
Master means that
your server is configured to allow outgoing zone transfers. Slave means
that your server pulls the zones from other master servers. And you can
also configure a server to act both as a master and slave.
So you will have to configure BIND to act as a master. This is done
using the `allow-transfer` zone config option.
Yes
And as for Knot DNS as a slave, check the `xfr-in`
zone option. A well
described minimal example can be found in our documentation:
