When I start the modified named daemon, it complains about “multiple SOA RRs found”. Whats wrong?
You can only have on SOA record per zone. Did you run read_dnswalk twice? If so, then you have duplicates of every entry in your zone not just the SOA records. You need to clean out your database tables and rerun read_dnswalk. If you are porting sql_bind to a new database, make sure that your “select” statment in sql_load() is correct. If your database supports the use of parentheses in a where clause, please use them. • Do I still need both host and arpa entries? Yes. Sql_bind only changes the user interface to BIND. With the exception of dynamic dns support in 4.9.x, sql_bind does not change the functionality of BIND. • What if I only want a few dynamic records to be in my database? Do I have to use sql_bind for every entry? Msql_bind was originally designed to only read certain records from a database. It was then later expanded to read every standard RR from a database. You can insert the line from sql.dom into your regular zone db files and only put the entries you want handled by
