Look at the following thread:

There are a couple reponses to the query.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
you will have to give rndc access right in the
DNS server.
follow this link:-

SivaKumar, I've gotten rndc to work but when I do rndc status, it tells me that this functionality is not yet implemented. I currently have Version: 9.1.0 and I am running RH 7.1 and bind-9.1.0-10. Do you know what version will the status arg is implemented. If so will it be compatible with my current bind version? Thanks.
