My DNS environment (BIND) consists of a Master Name Server which is updated via a Database. A web page allows for changes, which updates the database, and periodically the database is dumped out to zone files for named, which are read and propagated to my slaves via regular zone transfers.
My question is about transitioning to Dynamic updates, which I am not yet allowing. We have a number of zones, all updated through the Web interface I describe above. What happens if I want a client to be able to update one of those zones dynamically, while still updating all the static entries in the same zone, via the Web/Database and zone transfers? Is that even possible to update a zone this way, and allow dynamic updates? I can't seem to wrap my head around that. Can someone straighten me out? -Mike
