Glad it was easy to follow. Sorry to say, i gave up on the DLZ patch that i posted on this entry. Instead, i went for the MySQL BIND SDB Driver. Several reasons to this. the configuration for the SDB driver is a lot simpler, it is the patch that Mozilla Project is using (since i am working on their DNS servers, it would be easier to keep with it) and lastly, i never managed to get the DLZ connecting to my mysql server successfully. As far as the difference is concerned, the only difference i could say right now would be that the MySQL BIND SDB Driver only works with MySQL. But i guess you could find SDB Drivers for other database if need be (e/g/ PostgreSQL). The zones that are loaded thru the MySQL BIND SDB Driver are dynamic too. No restart/reload required. If i am not wrong, using the SDB Driver, zone transfer is the same as zone transfer in a Bind9 installation using flat file. This is quite unlike the BIND DLZ patch which needs a SQL query to be specificed (6th line) for zone transfer. Using the SDB Driver, Bind9 will still lookup for all the entries for the zone for MySQL and transfer it using the traditional DNS zone transfer. Sorry to say, i can't really comment on the DLZ Bind because it didn't want to work on my installation. Happy to meet you anyway. :-) Thanks Steven, these entries are like my work log, i do refer to them sometimes to backtrack on what i was doing. Glad it was easy to follow.

I really like your blog. You make it easy to follow, in spite of the fact you are delving into some things off the beaten track. We've have just deployed a master name server using BIND DLZ with MySQL. The master configuration only uses lines 1,2,3,4,5&7 of the DLZ argument. The 6th line is about zone transfers for a secondary name server. Thinking about secondary name servers. The majority of our requirement is to have the secondary be data driven also, so we are deploying a second BIND DLZ server as the secondary, where both name servers look up the same MySQL database through SSH, soon to be running on a DRBD cluster (which might be better done in PostgresQL). There will be domains where the secondary will need to be on a non-DLZ instance of BIND, and so the 6th line is about zone transfers becomes important. What I do not get is how to track the client information. Do you think they just require a client field added to the same database table under the SOA record? I'm assuming the client is the secondary name server IPV4 data and not the secondary name server zone. What a wonderful application of BIND DLZ! I really like your blog.
