Bind, force zone update on slave
Late reply to your unanswered question:
Is it possible to force zone update from/on slave?
I just wanted to speed up/force a transfer and used this on my slave for each outdated domain:
rndc retransfer domain.com
Your setup is doing what it's supposed to do:
- You modify a zone file, including updating the
SOA
serial. - You run
rndc reload
on master. - Master sends notify/notifies on zone change.
- Slave(s) requests zone transfers.
BIND is not monitoring file changes i.e. it's normal that it doesn't do this automatically. You must run rndc reload
on the master after every modification. A slave cannot force the master to reload configuration / zones.
