I can't comment on the reason for this not happening. Perhaps the source code could provide some insight in this. > 4. Restart the slave pdns server > OR > Resend a notifcation from the master > 5. Zone transfer happens and zone loads/works fine Thinking in workarounds would it be possible in your set-up to add this immediately after the rediscover in step 2? If you've scripted the set-up I imagine that executing: pdns_control rediscover pdns_control notify <domain>
might 'solve' the issue for now while you/someone looks into the bindbackend code. Regards, Ton _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
