Nothing is 'wrong' (it works after all). But I find it easier and cleaner to put all (or at least as many as possible) config options in the config file, rather than have them in the command-line as well. It makes a service easier to move, and it's less error prone (because you don't 'forget' about things you don't see). On the long run it would be nicer if e.g. query-source address could take parameters in a form similar to listen-on. Disabling ipv4/6 in config would then be a sideeffect. And yes, I know that has a much larger impact than a simple transport selection. > ...but > if that's so important to you, you can always promote the future > request as a funded project:-) Well, operationally it's probably worth around 50 bugs to me, but that doesn't seem enough? :) Gilles -- Fondation RESTENA - DNS-LU 6, rue Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg tel: (+352) 424409 fax: (+352) 422473 _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
