Re: How to check slave zone freshness

With a modern nameserver that supports the expire edns option you can also do "dig +expire soa zone @server" which will tell you how long until the zone will expire on this server. e.g. ;; BADCOOKIE, retrying. ; <<>> DiG 9.11.0pre-alpha <<>> +expire soa . +norec +noauth ;; global options: +cmd

Resolver optimization of auth selection - Truth or Myth?

Folks, Just trying to settle a question on BIND based resolver operation. When given multiple authoritative servers for a zone, does it optimize selection based on auth server response times? For example: --- I'm located in Sydney, Australia and my ISP has a

The standard, compatible way to do this is simply to do a lookup for the SOA record and make sure that the serial number matches what you expect it to be / what is on the master. I'm not sure what monitoring tool you are using (or if you are writing your own), but most standard monitoring tools hav
