BIND 8.1.2 to W2k AD with IXFR?

[Paul R. Dittrich]

We're preparing to roll out AD and in our test lab we've got HP-UX 11i as the primary master nameserver running BIND 8.1.2 just like in our production environment.

We want to begin using IXFR when we go to AD but every time I try to add
maintain-ixfr-base yes;
to named.conf, when named restarts I get an error message in syslog complaining about that line. I used the examples in the O'Reilly Blue Book and everything else is working fine but I don't know what is wrong with IXFR.
All useful answers will get points.

Hi,
What is the error you are getting ?

you should add a "server" declaration to your named.conf .
eg:-
server 123.2.3.4 {
support-ixfr yes;
transfer-format many-answers;
};

Then you should use the following to the global "options" declaration:


maintain-ixfr-base yes;
