There is actually way to do this without needing to make any code changes
at all :-) On the main page of the BIND module, click on Module Config and
change the 'Format for the name of forward zone files' to 'pri.ZONE'.

This is actually possible as well.. You need to install webmin on the slave
server, and then add it in the Webmin Servers Index module on the master
server, with the admin or root username and password specified. Then when
creating a master zone, you'll have the option to add it as slave to the slave
server as well. There is even a Module Config page option to set the default
server for this option, and a button on the main page to apply changes on
the slave server as well.

Sorry, Jamie - I was just kidding. I kown that you could do it for free at SF ;-) maybe I should just stop joking on a thursday ... cu kind regards Martin Mewes --=20 COIM Deutschland GmbH - Novacote Flexpack Division c/o IT/IS-Department - Hamburg - Germany |

Wow Jamie thankyou....two other questions
a) is this a good list for virtualmin questions too? :)
b) With setting up virtualmin users etc, is it possible to auto-update the
backup MX server (so when the pri MX goes down the users still get their mail
on the backup)
Thanks again :)

There is actually way to do this without needing to make any code changes
at all :-) On the main page of the BIND module, click on Module Config and
change the 'Format for the name of forward zone files' to 'pri.ZONE'.

Yes, since there isn't a separate virtualmin list yet.

This is not currently possible, but it is a pretty cool idea and may
not too hard.. I'll add it to my TODO list for virtualmin.

you've helped me so much, and it's really going along well, but I have one little bugger of a problem that is doing my head in, and since it's 6 o'clock, I am going to ask :) I have created my DNS manually, and now we are using the webmin, however, everytime I create a master zone through webmin the zone transfers don't seem to work :( I get the error message in the log: named[172]: received notify for zone 'mynewzoone.com': not authoritative I have it so the webmin adds the entry to the named.conf (that works very well I must say), but when the actual zone transfer information is sent out, the slave server wont accept it. I have even gone to the trouble of re-writing it in the exact format of my other entries (that do seem to work). And at least one of the domains has actually been delegated to our servers officially. And it seems fine from doing a "dnsreport" test, except that a DNS server is "lame" (which I think it is lame because it isn't accepting the bloody transfer!! :) Do you think I set up some security option that is blocking the incoming transfer? if so - why do the others work? If you need more excerpts of files - np :) Guess I'm really needing to know if anyone has had this problem before? Luke |

Are the new secondary zones being added properly to the secondary hosting server? It almost sounds like they are, but that the changes aren't being applied, either by hitting the Apply Changes button in the BIND module on the secondary server, or using the Apply Changes On: button in the BIND module on the master. - Jamie On Thu, 2003-10-02 at 18:05, Luke Worthy wrote: > you've helped me so much, and it's really going along well, but I have one > little bugger of a problem that is doing my head in, and since it's 6 > o'clock, I am going to ask :) > > I have created my DNS manually, and now we are using the webmin, however, > everytime I create a master zone through webmin the zone transfers don't seem > to work :( > > I get the error message in the log: > > named[172]: received notify for zone 'mynewzoone.com': not authoritative > > > I have it so the webmin adds the entry to the named.conf (that works very well > I must say), but when the actual zone transfer information is sent out, the > slave server wont accept it. > > I have even gone to the trouble of re-writing it in the exact format of my > other entries (that do seem to work). > > And at least one of the domains has actually been delegated to our servers > officially.
