Hi, I need to know how to setup the DNS server to answer zone transfer
query to specific hosts only. I read the man page ( and BIND manual ) about
named and found that there is a way to do that thru using the "xfrnets"
directive in named.boot file. But unfortunately, there is no example to show
how it works. I tried a few times but still could not get the DNS server
behave the way I want.
For example, when using nslookup and set the default server to the DNS
server and issue a command like ls -t xxx.com, a list of all hosts managed
by the server will be displayed. Basically the ls command is a zone transfer
query from nslookup. My question is how to disable this function and still
allow my provider to have their secondary DNS servers to perform a zone
transfer.
I tried to include the following lines in the named.boot but the named
server still does not responded in the way I was expected.
xfrnets xxx.com
or
xfrnets 999.999.999.0
or
xfrnets 999.999.999
or
xfrnets yyy.xxx.com
Thanks.
