_msdcs not updating...

[Michael J. Pape]

Bind 9.1.1


I've configured my named.conf as per Cricket Liu's article in the March
issue of Linux Magazine titled "The Ties That BIND:Using BIND Name Servers
with Windows 2000".

The _tcp, _udp, and _sites zone files update, but the _msdcs zone file will
not update, and I get "update denied" errors in the log file which I assume
are related to an attempt to update the db._msdcs zone file. The conf entry
has the appropriate "allow-update" statement, as do the other entries for
the other zones.

My related W2k/AD config entries (with the names changed to protect the
innocent...) are as follows:

acl "DomainController" {
        xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
};
zone "_tcp.example.edu" in {
        type master;
        file "db._tcp";
        check-names ignore;
        allow-update { "DomainController"; };
};
zone "_udp.example.edu" in {
        type master;
        file "db._udp";
        check-names ignore;
        allow-update { "DomainController"; };
};
zone "_msdcs.example.edu" in {
        type master;
        file "db._msdcs";
        check-names ignore;
        allow-update { "DomainController"; };
};
zone "_sites.example.edu" in {
        type master;
        file "db._sites";
        check-names ignore;
        allow-update { "DomainController"; };
};

???
