Re: BIND 9

[John Morgan Salomon]

Unless you have a different instances listening on different interfaces/IPs
as master/slave for the same domain if you only have one machine--some
registrars will not permit master & slave on the same IP. 

Or can BIND9 handle this in a single instance?

This seems to come up every now and then.  Before we start, is there any
reason you want to have two seperate named process running, instead of
having one process serving as master to some domains and slave to others?
   

No, it's generally considered {easier,better,more manageable,...} to
only have one instance of BIND.  BIND can be master for some domains
and slave for others, so there really is no need.
