No. EXPIRE is designed to handle xfr transfer graphs with loops. While I haven't yet adjusted the expire timer based on the expire option value in named it is something that is planned to be done. With "master -> slave -> slave" both slaves will end up with the same expire option value as the slaves will use min(soa expire, max(current expire, edns expire option)) as the value to update the expire timer with. With this graph they will both get the same value /- slave1 -\ master < > slave3 \- slave2 -/ The slave3 will be max of slave1 and slave2. /- slave1 -\ master < | > slave3 \- slave2 -/ All three slaves will have a expire based on the most recent refresh of slave1 and slave2 against master. > -- > Barry Margolin > Arlington, MA > _______________________________________________ > 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 -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org _______________________________________________ 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
