i have zones in my BIND server that are updated dynamically by some windows DHCP servers, quite frequently. however, i need to add records "manually" in these zones. can i still manually update these zones by simply editing them (using vi on my bind server like i do for the others not supporting updates), adding the record, updating the serial and reloading the thing ? (rndc reload) what happens if, during my serial update, an update is done at the same time by any dynamic system (DHCP in my case). thanks
after watching some DNS documentation (DNS and BIND from O'Reilly), i saw that we could technically do it but it would be dangerous, and i had to use nsupdate instead. will try this program !
