From the bug report, does it not forget zones after the expire time? Or do you just want it to forget them sooner? Thanks also to the people who suggested various solutions for replicating master data to slaves, but this has a slightly different purpose than you seem to have envisaged. I want to use this to offer secondary-DNS service to ISP customers without having to futz with config files every time they add a new DNS zone. (I have one customer with nearly 400 DNS zones, and growing, and to make this a free-with-any-purchase service, I need to make it 0+quantum maintenance effort.) The zones we are master for are in myDNS, so are secondaried by dint of mySQL replication. I don't recall now why I chose myDNS over PowerDNS, nearly a year ago now, but I do use pdns-recursor for the ISP's customer DNS lookups. (Seperating authorative DNS from recursive DNS turns out to be a really good idea, if you happen to be renumbering your ISP any time soon. ^_^) Looks like I've saved myself implementing NOTIFY-receive support in myDNS, or *horrors* _another_ DNS daemon. ^_^ [1] http://doc.powerdns.com/slave.html -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Pobox.Com Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
