Thank you for all the good responses. While I am unsure if Chrisoph's question was answered, I now understand why most everyone thinks it is a bad idea to over-ride the TTL for records I am not authoritive for: 1) It's not RFC compliant for the protocol 2) Changing it could potentially increase

Max-Cache-TTL

2010-09-23 Thread Atkins, Brian (GD/VA-NSOC)
I'm looking for methods to reduce the period of time we cache external records (e.g., www.google.com). I think the option I need to implement is max-cache-ttl. Is this the correct method for limiting caching? Are there reasons that I should or should not do it? Thanks, Brian

I'm running 9.6 in our lab environment with DNSSEC enabled, not much difficulty at all. To make it even easier, you might want to look at the Webmin BIND module. It makes it even easier. shameless plugAlso, I went to ISC's BIND deployment workshop and found it very insightful. /shameless plug

Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions yesterday. I gleaned some very useful information from the conversations. Using some of the suggestions, I kludged together another script. I'm still fine tuning it. It works great for A and CNAME records, but I'm tweaking the MX and NS record types.

Script for verifying zone files

2010-07-22 Thread Atkins, Brian (GD/VA-NSOC)
Does anyone know of an existing script or program that can parse a zone file and verify records against an active server? I'm attempting to clean up some large zone files and want to ensure that none of the changes will break DNS when I implement it. Later, I'd like to use it to verify that the

After specifying MX records for a 2nd tier domain, is it necessary to restate the MX records for a new $ORIGIN? For example, if I have: $ORIGIN . ... IN MX 10 mx1.example.com. IN MX 10 mx2.example.com. IN MX 10
