In article <e8j70r$1jen$1 (AT) sf1 (DOT) isc.org>, Matt <mhoppes (AT) gmail (DOT) comwrote: Hi, Right now I setup my domains like so: zone "klineys.com" { type master; file "/var/named/klineys.com.hosts"; notify yes; allow-transfer { 63.174.244.25; 63.174.244.26; }; also-notify { 63.174.244.25; }; }; Can I put that allow-transfer and also-notify in my global config options at the top of named.conf instead of putting that for every single host record? Yes. In what way is the documentation unclear about this? It shows them as allowed in the options section, what do you think they mean there?
