Dear all,
I am writing this question fearfully since it concerns mDNS and bind.
I have read most of the messages in the archives concerning these two... and
yes, I know that bind and mDNS are not the same thing and do not intend to
provide the same service. But still... ok. let's get fried !
I would like to know if it would be possible to populate a DNS zone with mDNS.
The question may become clearer with this simple example:
Let's assume that I am a residential and I have a DNS server in charge of my
domain mydomain.example.com. As a residential, this server is hosted on my home
gateway. And still because I am a residential, I don't know a lot about bind
and its configuration, so I would love my zone to be automatically populated
with the hostnames of my terminals in my LAN.
The mdns daemon on the home gateway "discovers" that host groovy is at 2002::10
and touchy at 2002::11 (IPv6). Could my zone be filled up automatically with
two new records:
mydomain.example.com IN SOA mydomain.example.com.
root.mydomain.example.com. (
1142330531 ; serial
10800 ; refresh (3 hours)
3600 ; retry (1 hour)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
1800 ; minimum (30 minutes)
)
$TTL 1800 ; 30 minutes
NS mydomain.example.com.
AAAA 2002::53
# here are the records from mDNS
#
groovy.mydomain.example.com IN AAAA 2002::10
touchy.mydomain.example.com IN AAAA 2002::11
Alternatively, could mDNS send DNS updates to bind9 instead ?
Alternatively again, if the DNS server receives a AAAA (or A) query for
funky.mydomain.example.com, could a mDNS broadcast be sent in the LAN and in
case of a positive reply, the DNS server would respond accordingly
(funky.mydomain.example.com IN AAAA 2002::12 - assuming it exists).
My questions may sound out of scope and stupid. If so, again , sorry. I would
nevertheless appreciate to clearly understand why.
Many thanks.
Congrads for the wonderfull work you do. Bind is great !
Yours,
David.
