Node:Zone transfers, Next:Round robin, Previous:TCP support, Up:Server
MyDNS will allow zone transfers (via AXFR) if the configuration option
allow-axfr
is true. This is recommended only if you have an
absolute need for DNS-based zone transfers, such as if your secondary
name server is running BIND.
MyDNS does not support incremental zone transfers (IXFR
).
If you need to support DNS-based zone transfers (see Zone transfers),
you have to enable allow-tcp
. (This is not true for BIND 9.)
You can specify IP access rules for DNS-based zone transfers by using
an optional column called xfer
in the soa
table.
See soa.xfer.
