BIND views are powerful, but configuring them can become complex. If your machine has the resources for doing so, I'd recommend running multiple instances of BIND, which will enable you to stop/start your test-instances at will. Furthermore you'll probably find configuration of individual BIND name servers easier to create and manage. On the down-side you'll need monitoring for the N instances, you'll probably have N logs, etc. Knowing what I do from your description, I would chose the N instances. -JP _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
