Hi folks,

Occasionally I set up a slave zone on my DNS so that I don't always have to wait for updates from the master. However, my named.conf has separate internal and external views. This file has separate internal and external entries for the above slave zone, although these share the same cached zone file.

What I find irritating about this configuration is that, although the external slave zone, including its cache in memory, almost immediately reflects the changes that are made to the master, the internal slave zone is only updated after bind9 is restarted -- that's when it reads it's already updated cached zone file.

Is this a security feature that cannot be circumvented, or is it possible for the cached information of the internal slave zone to be updated together with the external one?

Thanks,

Jaap

PS -- I tried recently to create a view containing the slave zone that was visible both internally and externally. The behavior of this configuration was buggy at best, but when it seemed to work it only did so in part: the internal cache was only updated automatically when entries were added to the zone, but not when existing entries were modified or deleted.
