It's YAML. YAML's datastructures are pretty well defined (at least in

But changing that to:

- 'domain.com'
seems to have solved the problem I've been having.
Thanks, James!

Subject
Cobbler BIND DNS management confusion
I could use some help understanding Cobbler's management of BIND.
If I make any changes to the /etc/cobbler/named.template file and
run
'cobbler sync', I can clearly see that the changes that I make are
implemented in the /etc/named.conf file.
Now I've been attempting to create a zone template under a directory
created per the wiki ManageDns documentation
-- /etc/cobbler/zone_templates. I want to create a zone with
static A,
MX, and CNAME entries that are outside the scope of Cobbler's
management
for that zone. If I create the zone template and run 'cobbler
sync',
should I then expect Cobbler to add the zone information to the
named.conf file, as well as use the template to create an
appropriate
zone file under /var/named? This doesn't seem to happen.
If I try to add the zone information explicitly to
the /etc/cobbler/named.template file, named gives an error when
restarting that the /var/named/... zone file doesn't exist.
I then thought that maybe Cobbler wouldn't create the named.conf
zone
entry or the zone file until a Cobbler system entry existed for a
host
in the domain. I created a dummy system with a hostname in the
domain
in question and ran 'cobbler sync', but still no dice -- no zone
entry
and no zone file.
What more do I need to understand about how this BIND management
works?
At what point or under what circumstances is the zone information
generated?
Thanks in advance!
