Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Running bind in jail as slave

> Ok, I see what you mean, but when the service is shutdown or restarted, the changed files should be copied back, right? As it is now, as soon as the jail breaks, all changes are lost. If I use BIND in a jailed environment in another Linux distribution, the changes are written to the zone files. Is there any parameters or such that I have missed which I need to configure to make this happen? I really can't have the changes go lost every time BIND is restarted, having to wait for an update from the master DNS when the master could be offline.

Copying the files back when BIND is shutdown would help, but if there is 
an abnormal shutdown or power outage, the changes would still be lost.

Copying the files back periodically with cron would be another option.

Or perhaps setting up a permanent chroot directory so the permanent 
location is the same as the chroot location?

I don't know the best solution.

One quick solution would be to turn off the chroot jail.
