<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All: I just brought a new 9.6.0 slave server
online on freebsd 7. In my configuration file, I added all the zones with a
configuration like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>zone "myzone" IN { type slave; masters
{xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx}; };</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>note that I left out the "file"
statement.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I reload BIND I see the zones being
loaded from the master, and my query log shows the server answering
queries...everything looks OK, but I don't see any backup files being created
anywhere.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is BIND just loading the zone data into RAM? Is
this a really bad idea?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
