If the include is there zones are dropped.
Honestly I did not expect PowerDNS to support all options of bind9. Still I am using includes like the option to set the "directory" where the zone files. My 10,000 zones were in an included file. Please note that in some cases a "pdns_control rediscover" is not sufficient. It seems to only parse the bind configuration for changed zone definitions. If you change includes or options you will want to restart PowerDNS via the init.d script. I'm setting this bug report's severity to wishlist. If you want to have a features added (like parsing options during a 'rediscover') please just tell and we will forward it upstream. This does not really smell like an important bug any more. :) Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
