|
|
|
|
<P>The server statement defines the characteristics to be
|
|
associated with a remote name server.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>If you discover that a server is giving out bad data, marking it as
|
|
<CODE>bogus</CODE> will prevent further queries to it. The default value of
|
|
<CODE>bogus</CODE> is <CODE>no</CODE>. Marking a server as <CODE>bogus</CODE>
|
|
will mark all other addresses for that server as <CODE>bogus</CODE> when
|
|
a match is made when looking up a server's address by name.
|
|
|
|
<P>The server supports two zone transfer methods. The first,
|
|
<CODE>one-answer</CODE>, uses one DNS message per resource record
|
|
transferred. <CODE>many-answers</CODE> packs as many resource records
|
|
as possible into a message. <CODE>many-answers</CODE> is more
|
|
efficient, but is only known to be understood by BIND 8.1 and patched
|
|
versions of BIND 4.9.5. You can specify which method to use for a
|
|
server with the <CODE>transfer-format</CODE> option. If
|
|
<CODE>transfer-format</CODE> is not specified, the <CODE>transfer-format</CODE>
|
|
specified by the <CODE>options</CODE> statement will be used.
|
|
|
|
<P>The <CODE>transfers</CODE> will be used in a future release of the server
|
|
to limit the number of concurrent in-bound zone transfers from the specified
|
|
server. It is checked for syntax but is otherwise ignored.
|
|
|
|
<P>The <CODE>keys</CODE> clause is used to identify a
|
|
<VAR>key_id</VAR> defined by the <CODE>key</CODE> statement, to be
|
|
used for transaction security when talking to the remote server.
|
|
The <CODE>key</CODE> statememnt must come before the <CODE>server</CODE>
|
|
statement that references it. When a request is sent to the remote server,
|
|
a request signature will be generated using the key specified here and
|
|
appended to the message. A request originating from the remote server is not
|
|
required to be signed by this key.
