BIND 9.1, Views, and Zone Transfers

[Ladislav Bukvicka]

Meaby you can transfer zone which has another view for you in this way:
create fake zone pointing to first zone datafile. You can make tranfers of
this zone via AXFR to your secondary => no problem with view.
At secondary you can define your real zone pointing to fake zone datafile.
I never tried it, but I think it could work in presumption you rewrite
$ORIGIN at secondary ... and you cannot have closed FQDN's in datafile at
primary of course. When you close FQDN's then bind refuses these data because
are in conflict with $ORIGIN.
