concatenated to produce a single configuration). See the next
section for a look inside these files.
+ When the zone name contains a slash (as happens in classless
+ reverse zones), it is replaced by "@" in the cf file name.
+
SECONDARY(zone, primary)
Define a zone we run a secondary name server for.
"primary" is an IP address of the primary name server.
You can also use the REV macro explicitly, which can be handy
for example in SECONDARY declarations.
+FORWARDED(zone, ip...)
+ Define a forwarding zone. All queries are forwarded to the
+ specified name servers.
+
+BLACKHOLE(zone)
+ Define an empty zone according to RFC 6303. This is usually done
+ for zones for which clients are known to erroneously ask queries
+ (e.g., reverse resolving of link-local addresses). The contents
+ served for these zones is taken from cf/blackhole.
+
ZONE_OPTIONS(`options;
more options;
')
Generates a series of CNAME records pointing from the aliases
to the current host/domain.
+TXT(text)
+ Specify a TXT record for the current host or domain.
+
+RP(mail, txt)
+ Specify a RP (responsible person) record for the current host or domain.
+ The first argument is a mail address in DNS notation (with `@' replaced
+ by `.' as in the SOA record), the second one is a name of a TXT record
+ with contact information.
+
+SRV(service, protocol, priority, weight, port, target)
+ Specify a SRV (service) record for the current host or domain.
+
CNAME(src, dest)
Generate a CNAME record -- "src" points to "dest".
