RE: name server zone list
You say my DNS servers - if you own them, why not just look at the named.conf? grep zone named.conf should tell you pretty quickly. If you are using external hosting, you will need to talk to your provider. They should be able to provide you a list. t. -Original Message- From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Sandy Mackenzie Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 9:15 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: name server zone list Hi, I want to be able to produce a simple list of the zones on my DNS servers.

Of course there's the barber-shaving question: should zones.bind contain an entry describing itself? My view would be that it should list every zone being answered for by the server, so it should include itself. Maybe it could be prefixed/suffixed/named in a pattern so it can be removed easily from a listing, but I know I'd like to be able to see every zone being loaded on my server (including empty zones). $0.02 CDN T. - This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.

RE: name server zone list
I agree with Rick Dicaire that this should not be done as a zone at all. Instead, this should be implemented in rndc. I do agree with the premise that it would be nice to be able to have a list of all zones on the server. I would tend to agree that rndc is the best place for it, except in places where doing the r part of rndc isn't possible. If you're in a tightly controlled environment, where rndc isn't used because of security/firewalls, you'd be stuck using another method to get the data, instead of utilizing a data channel that already exists. Additionally, there may well be times where I'd want to give access to people to see what zones are on the server, without giving them access to the console, or to run rndc. This a NOC doing troubleshooting - they may not have access to the box, or be able to use RNDC, but it would be handy if they could look and see what zones are loaded on the server. Granted, these are edge cases really, but ones where having the data available as a zone would be more useful than through rndc. Any which way, having access to the data would be good. t. - This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.

Re: name server zone list
Besides all the methods discussed, you could invent your own zone that has this data in a format of your choosing., e.g. example.com.myzones.example.com TXT example.com example2.com.myzones.example.com TXT example2.com Then: dig @nameserver axfr myzones.example.com Your design creativity and your self-discipline in always adding a record for each zone are your only limitations. If you wish to get really fancy, you could script the rebuilding of your named.conf file to do so using data gathered with this dig command.
