<p class=MsoNormal>Question:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>[Apologies for asking something that strikes me as most
likely obvious, but just outside my grasp today – and of course, I
haven’t been able to find similar situations to borrow from on the web]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Within a private /16 in.addr zone, I’ve got two /24
blocks of (contiguous) DHCP issued addresses. Presently DHCP updates
these addresses which are intermingled with all other static addresses in the
/16 space. For the purposes of a cleaner zone file and less traffic
between slave servers, what’s the best technique to break out the two
dhcp issued address spaces?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My presumption is that the /16 zone remain a single zone
file, with sub-delegation of those two /24 blocks. As I’ve only
done delegation to other name servers, is this both possible/recommended to be
done in one bind instance? Ideally, delegating a /23 seems to strike me
as the right thing to do. Of course, my blocks don’t fall on a /23
boundary. *<b>eye roll</b>*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For a concrete example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>10.0.0.0/16 is presently handled by a single zone file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>10.1.3.0/24 is DHCP issued<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>10.1.4.0/24 is DHCP issued<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What do the experts recommend as the best method to split
these into 1-3 different zone files on the same name server.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks much for the assistance,<o:p></o:p></p>
