-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 http://jeckersb.fedorapeople.org/cobbler/0001-fix-zone-config-matching-and-minimize-the-number-of.patch This fixes a few problems that I ran into as I sat down and actually started deploying my own feature :) Previously manage_forward_zones and manage_reverse_zones were optional and were supposed to restrict the zone files generated. Except it didn't really work all that well. For example... If my settings looked like this: manage_forward_zones: ~ - 'foo.example.com' Only hosts that matched 'hostname.foo.example.com' would go into the zone. If you had hostname.subdomain.foo.example.com it would not match. Furthermore if you did not specify manage_forward_zones then it would take every host, chop the hostname off the front and create a zone file for the remainder of the FQDN. As I started to use it I realized the number of zone files was quickly getting unmanageable. I have other nameservers to configure as slaves for these zones and I was needing to update them everytime somebody invented a new subdomain (which around here is about every 5 minutes :D). Which brings us to how things work now. manage_forward_zones and manage_reverse_zones are now mandatory for BIND management. The items listed in these values will directly map into zone files. Hosts will go into their "best fit" as far as zone files. To illustrate this: If my settings looked like this: manage_forward_zones: ~ - 'foo.example.com' ~ - 'bar.foo.example.com' The host 'baz.bar.foo.example.com' would go into the 'bar.foo.example.com' zone whereas the host 's1.foo.example.com' would go into the 'foo.example.com' zone. I hope everyone who is testing this out finds this to be much more useful than the way it previously functioned. I know I sure do. I'm going to go put most of this information onto the wiki. - -- John Eckersberg Production Operations Red Hat, Inc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIJEfAO5VSO/Qqm+gRAngqAJ9C9aL9fBYASJRQBAh+nw3mqrINDACgtGg9 E9KrC9JkAhg9tRka7vHiFuc= =93hk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
