<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We recently decided to create internal and external views
for some zones. This worked fine on the master server.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>However, initiating zone transfer on slave from master it
loaded all the zone names I’d created but put exactly the same
information into both sets. This information was for the internal view which
is the first one in both named.conf files. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>On doing some research I saw mention of needing to configure
different slaves for internal and external view. This mentioned need for
separate IPs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Since I can’t just build a new slave server I instead
opted to create an alias IP using the same NIC as primary IP. Of course the
question there is how to force the transfer request to come from the primary IP
or the alias IP dependent on which view the zone is in. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Further research suggested use of the transfer-source option
in the view to specify the IP to be used to request the transfer. I added
this. Also I already had allow-transfer for the primary IP. I left that in
the external view zone entries in named.conf. I then created a separate
allow-transfer in the internal view zone entries to use the alias IP. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>On checking logs I’m seeing REFUSED from the master in
the slave’s logs but I am seeing the slave’s alias IP making the
request on the master. I don’t see the slave’s primary IP making
requests on the master.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Is what I’m trying to do possible? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>If not can someone explain why? Given that I’m
restricting the IP allowed to transfer and the IP requesting the transfer it
seems this should be working. At worst it seems it should only have quit
working for one view but its not working for either one.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>If it is possible can someone let me know how they’ve
achieved it?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
