checkds - min. version for this ?

[vom513]

Hello all,

I could have sworn I saw mention on this list at some point of this (just can’t find it in the archives).

I currently run a 9.18.x BIND and I use parental agents for automatic key rollover.  I have a script that builds these and I included them in my config.

From what I read on:

https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#namedconf-statement-checkds

The “checkds” statement, if set to yes, will simply look at the parent NSes with no need to create/maintain the parental-agents list.

Is this correct ?  And also - what version of BIND was this first introduced (seems like something 9.19.x ?) ?

My current setup is fine for me - but if there is a more elegant/native way of doing it in the future I’d want to do that vs. reinventing the wheel.

Thanks.
