You can also use the REV macro explicitly, which can be handy
for example in SECONDARY declarations.
+ROOTHINT()
+ Insert a definition of hints for reaching root servers into named.conf.
+ This is necessary if you want your DNS server to resolve foreign
+ domains; otherwise, it will only give out authoritative answers
+ for locally defined zones and forward queries. The location of the
+ file with the hints can be set by the ROOTCACHE directive (see below).
+
FORWARDED(zone, ip...)
Define a forwarding zone. All queries are forwarded to the
specified name servers.
NSNAME Origin server (default: hostname of your machine)
MAINTNAME Domain maintainer name (default: root@NSNAME)
-BIND_OPTIONS Extra options to put to the options { ... } section of named.conf
-
For the timing parameters, the following shortcuts are available:
HOURS(n) Convert hours to seconds
MINUTES(n) Convert minutes to seconds
DAYS(n) Convert days to seconds
-For the BIND_OPTIONS, we offer:
-
-FORWARD(ip...) Try to ask the given name servers first to see if they
- have the reply cached.
-SLAVE(ip...) Pass all non-local requests to the given name servers.
