Quick DNS question..

["Marc-Adrian Napoli" <marcadrian@cia.com.au>]

Hi guys,

I know this isn't strictly debian related but i'm sure someone can help me
quickly.

If i've got BIND 8.1.2 running (debian 2.0) i've noticed that all zone
transfers to anywhere are blocked.

With the "xfernets" command I know I can allow certain hosts to do zone
tranfers, but all over the web
wherever I look there are only examples for BIND 4.9 - which is obviously
different to the 8 series.

I'm setting up a secondary name server for a primary name server, and need
to be able to get
those hosts!

Thanks!

PS. Besides creating entries for all the domains i want to be secondary for
in named.conf - and setting these
to type "slave" and then restarting the name server (which will then do a
zone transfer) there isn't much I need
to do right?
