Q: I want to forward all DNS queries from my caching nameserver to another server.
But there are some domains which have to be served locally, via rbldnsd.
How do I achieve this ?
A: options {
forward only;
forwarders { <ip.of.primary.nameserver>; };
};
zone "sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org" {
type forward; forward only;
forwarders { <ip.of.rbldns.server> port 530; };
};
zone "list.dsbl.org" {
type forward; forward only;
forwarders { <ip.of.rbldns.server> port 530; };
};
Q: Will named be affected by the 2007 changes to daylight savings rules in the US.
A: No, so long as the machines internal clock (as reported by "date -u") remains
at UTC. The only visible change if you fail to upgrade your OS, if you are in a
affected area, will be that log messages will be a hour out during the period
where the old rules do not match the new rules.
For most OS's this change just means that you need to update the conversion
rules from UTC to local time. Normally this involves updating a file in /etc
(which sets the default timezone for the machine) and possibly a directory
which has all the conversion rules for the world (e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo).
When updating the OS do not forget to update any chroot areas as well. See your
OS's documetation for more details.
The local timezone conversion rules can also be done on a individual basis by
setting the TZ envirionment variable appropriately. See your OS's documentation
for more details.
