allow-update issue

[Linda Hu]

Hi,
I got the problem to reload the zone file if I set allow-update and manaully config the zone file.

1.I added the following config in /etc/named.conf
zone "4567.com" {
        type master;
        file "4567.com.db";
        allow-update {
             127.0.0.1;
             192.168.1.1;
        };
};

2.I created a zone file
$TTL 3600       ; 1 hour
4567.com.             IN SOA  test.ttn.net. lindahu.noc.ttn.net. (
                                2004081301 ; serial
                                10800      ; refresh (3 hours)
                                3600       ; retry (1 hour)
                                604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                )
                        NS      test.ttn.net.
                        NS      test1.ttn.net.

3. rndc reload

4. dig 4567.com SOA => I can get the correct SOA

5. I modify the zone file
$TTL 3600       ; 1 hour
4567.com.             IN SOA  test.ttn.net. lindahu.noc.ttn.net. (
                                2004081302 ; serial
                                10800      ; refresh (3 hours)
                                3600       ; retry (1 hour)
                                604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                )
                        NS      test.ttn.net.
                        NS      test1.ttn.net.
www            IN    A    192.168.1.2

6. rndc reload

7. dig 4567.com SOA => the serial is still the old one - 2004081301
   dig www.4567.com => I can't get the A record for www

However, I found if I removed allow-update from /etc/named.conf, everything will be fine.
zone "4567.com" {
        type master;
        file "4567.com.db";
};

This zone file doesn't have .jnl and never updates by dynamic dns.

If allow-update is setted, can't I update zone manually?



Thanks


Linda
