no-round-robin in named.conf

[Mad_1]

I would like to disable the default round-robin cycling in named.conf (8.1.2). When I set entries as below:

options {
check-names response fail;
check-names slave ignore;
directory "/usr/domain";
no-round-robin;
};

I found error in syslog.log
Feb 17 12:31:29 ux61phq named[15309]: /usr/domain/named.conf:15: syntax error near 'no-round-robin'

Even if I replaced the "no-round-robin" with belows:

options {
check-names response fail;
check-names slave ignore;
directory "/usr/domain";
rrset-order { order fixed; };
};

There is still syntax error. How can I disable the round robin in named.conf.

Thanks

Hi,

BIND 8.1.2 will not support those features. Use BIND 8.2 for that thing to work.

Thanks SivaKumar.

But according to the release notes:
http://www.software.hp.com/products/DNS_BIND/releasenotes.html
The options "no-round-robin" is supported.

Per your referenced DOC:

The "no-round-robin" option is only supported for HP. Are you running HP?

The rrset-order is not listed as an option at all so it is no surprise this one fails.

I would prefer to put the directory statement at the top of the list just because that is where it sits in the list of possible options.

Perhaps you should move on to 9.2.0?

It says you get it free.

I tried to put the "directory" line to the top, but the there is still syntax error on the "no-round-robin".

Does anyone know how to disable it?

Thanks

After several trial and error, I finally find the correct syntax.

It should be

round-robin no;
