Hi All, I'm in the process of cleaning up logging on our bind 8.2.5 cluster. My eventual goal is that there be nothing in the log file other than server reloads and errors. I'm finding myself constantly frustrated that bind seems to lump things together in the same facility and error level where I want to see one kind of message and not another. My current issue is with lines such as: 08-Jan-2002 07:54:32.080 default: warning: owner name "gc._msdcs.gototal.com" IN (secondary) is invalid - proceeding anyway I know that underscores are illegal in domain names per RFC. I know that and I like that. Tell that to M$ though. Every time we have to be secondary for a customer's zones that include M$ active directory nonsense, it seems to fill a zone full of names including underscores. Is there an easy way to tell bind 8.2.5 that I don't want to be warned every time I reload a zone from a M$ box, but still get default:info logging? After tackling this one I'll probably have more questions about this sort of thing... I'm trying to make it so that I can tail -f the named.log on my terminal, and if I see scrollage I jump. Right now I'm jumping constantly for nonsense. I'd rather not make config changes than source code changes so that future upgrades go easier. And no, bind 9 is not an option. Tried it and it didn't work. Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist. Any pointers to more in-depth documentation than the ARM specifically with respect to logging configuration would also be useful.
