can you have notify no; in your options?

 Note that I do not want to send NOTIFY messages to the NS servers for the
 zone, I want to send them to different servers.

notify explicit; is here for this usage

I don't believe that this is the case - I'm using them on servers
serving copies of the zone that are slaved to a master copy elsewhere.

The ARM, in Chapter 6, under Boolean Options [for some value of the word
Boolean, I guess ;-)], says:

notify

If 'yes' (the default), DNS NOTIFY messages are sent when a zone the
server is authoritative for changes, see the section called Notify.
The messages are sent to the servers listed in the zone's NS records
(except the master server identified in the SOA MNAME field), and to any
servers listed in the 'also-notify' option. 

If 'master-only', notifies are only sent for master zones. If
'explicit', notifies are sent only to servers explicitly listed using
'also-notify'.  If 'no', no notifies are sent. 

The 'notify' option may also be specified in the 'zone' statement, in
which case it overrides the 'options notify' statement. It would only be
necessary to turn off this option if it caused slaves to crash.

and under Zone Transfers it says:

When a 'zone' 'notify' statement is set to 'no', the IP addresses in
the global 'also-notify' list will not be sent NOTIFY messages for that
zone.

I suspect that the notify option is set to 'no' either in your global
options or in your view or in your zone.

Well it started out as a Boolean Option. :-)
Boolean/Enumerated Options would be a more accurate description these days.

how do I get a slave to send NOTIFY messages?

2010-01-29 Thread Frank Cusack

I have also-notify configured for a slave zone.  The real master is a
so-called stealth master and all other slaves must consult this slave
nameserver that has also-notify configured.

The slave doesn't appear to be sending NOTIFY messages to the also-notify
hosts.  zytrax does say that also-notify only applies to type master
servers however I can't find confirmation of that anywhere else.

Note that I do not want to send NOTIFY messages to the NS servers for the
zone, I want to send them to different servers.

thanks
