Bind dns slave not updating

05-Jan-2020 03:05

For Fedora Core (and Red Hat) users, you will need to install both the bind (for dnssec-keygen) and bind-utils (for nsupdate) packages.If you plan to configure a DNS server, also read the companion article on configuring your server.Even though my DNS is automatically updated when it changes, via the highly versatile ddclient package, the traditional dynamic DNS update protocols (including dyndns.org's) are typically site-specific and non-standard.While googling around for a better solution, a friend on IRC pointing me to a utility that has been around since BIND 8: nsupdate.

It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.I knew about dig and nslookup, but not host with the -t flag.
