Remove/add [A] records based upon server availability
Is there a method in BIND to add/remove A records based upon server availability? i.e. host www has A records 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3 If 3.3.3.3 is 'down' (via a ping test, for example) we remove it from the [A] record until such time that it is back 'up' and the host is added back to the A records. Does this exist in BIND or has anyone developed such a script? I would like to do this. please help!! thanks. _ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222986/direct/01/___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
Added new master zone, copy .hosts does not replicate properly
We run 2 BIND in master/master configuration in two geographically separate datacenters. This is done because a master/slave configuration has certain limitations if the master goes down (slave can not be easily modified). The setup we have works great -- we make changes to "A" or "MX" records in MASTER-A and there is a script that runs every 5 minutes that copies these files to MASTER-B: /var/named/chroot/var/named/*.hosts and *.rev So I created a new master zone on MASTER-A, call it "test.com", it creates a new file test.com.hosts on MASTER-A This file is replicated (copied) to MASTER-B but even though the script reloads BIND on MASTER-B it does not work. I think there might be a file that has a list of all the hosts or is there some other file I need to also copy over ? I checked the directory structures and can not find it. So my setup has been working great modifying existing zones adding and removing records. But when I add a new zone, it apparently does not work. So I think I am missing an important file that lists all the zones BIND uses? What BIND file am I needing to copy to properly replicate MASTER-A to MASTER-B? I hope this is something very simple .. _ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390710/direct/01/___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
