You have had a bunch of helpful replies already, but your question suggests to me that you might be making things more difficult than they need to be. I have tried out configurations with non-default journal names and I've decided it's more trouble than it is worth. For example, I added the -J option to named-compilezone to improve support for custom journal names, but the -j option for default journals is significantly more convenient. And it's much nicer when I don't have journal options in every zone{} clause in my config. I know what they say about assuming, but I'm going to guess that you want to put the jounal in a different directory because `named` complained that it did not have write access to the directory containing your zone file. If I'm right, you will soon find that `named` also wants to overwrite your zone file, and the message I sent yesterday will probably be helpful: https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2021-April/104472.html Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <d...@dotat.at> https://dotat.at/ Dover, Wight, Portland, Plymouth, North Biscay: Easterly or northeasterly 5 to 7, decreasing 3 or 4 later, then becoming variable later.
