nsd users - Feb 2014 - How to add new zones to the slave on NSD 4.0

Hi,

We started using patterns with NSD 4.0 to host zones of out customers.
I am trying to setup a slave server for backup. It works fine if I run
"nsd-control addzone" for each zone on both the master and the slave.
Is it possible to make the slave get the new zones when they are added to
the master?

As both master and slave are yours, then you can basically wrap the problem like
this:
----
#!/bin/sh
master=1.2.3.4
slave=2.3.4.5
zone=$1

nsd-control -s $master addzone $zone mpattern
nsd-control -s $slave  addzone $zone spattern
----
I.e. it sounds like this is mostly a question of convenience. If that is correct
(I may of course be missing your point) then I think it is strongly preferable
not to have more complicated control goop built into the servers when the same
control can be easily achieved outside the servers.
