To use a previously created key, leave the Key ID field blank and select the file where
it is stored under File Name. After that, confirm with Add.
Adding a Slave Zone
To add a slave zone, select DNS Zones, choose the zone type Slave, write the name of
the new zone, and click Add.
In the Zone Editor under Master DNS Server IP, specify the master from which the
slave should pull its data. To limit access to the server, select one of the ACLs from
the list.
Adding a Master Zone
To add a master zone, select DNS Zones, choose the zone type Master, write the name
of the new zone, and click Add. When adding a master zone, a reverse zone is also
needed. For example, when adding the zone example.com that points to hosts in a
subnet 192.168.1.0/24, you should also add a reverse zone for the IP-address
range covered. By definition, this should be named 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
Editing a Master Zone
To edit a master zone, select DNS Zones, select the master zone from the table, and
click Edit. The dialog consists of several pages: Basics (the one opened first), NS
Records, MX Records, SOA, and Records.
The basic dialog, shown in
Figure 21.5, "DNS Server: Zone Editor (Basic)"
(page 287),
lets you define settings for dynamic DNS and access options for zone transfers to clients
and slave name servers. To permit the dynamic updating of zones, select Allow Dynamic
Updates as well as the corresponding TSIG key. The key must have been defined before
the update action starts. To enable zone transfers, select the corresponding ACLs. ACLs
must have been defined already.
In the basic dialog, select whether to enable zone transfers. Use the listed ACLs to define
who can download zones.
