Is it possible to use dig to AXFR the root zone? I mean without having any special foreknowledge of which specific root zone servers will and will not accept the AXFR request? If so, how would I do that, exactly?
I tried this: dig . axfr but I just got back a "Transfer failed" error message. Regards, rfg P.S. Strangely, this rather different query _does_ work: dig @k.root-servers.net . axfr So, um, it appears that "k" will allow the AXFR but, I gather, other root zone servers won't (?) As Seinfeld would say "What's up with that?" _______________________________________________ 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
