Hi All,<div><br></div><div>I am experimenting with NSD4, and am having a little trouble understanding the workflow for adding a zone to the running daemon with the "nsd-control addzone <<a href="http://zone.name" target="_blank">zone name</a>> <pattern>" functionality. Specifically, I am interested in a solution that does not involve zone transfers. From the man page:</div>
<div><div><br></div><div> addzone <zone name> <pattern name></div><div> Add a new zone to the running server. The zone is added to the zonelist file on disk, so it stays after a restart.</div>
<div> The pattern name determines the options for the new zone. For slave zones a zone transfer is immediately attempted.</div>
<div> For zones with a zonefile, the zone file is attempted to be read in.</div></div><div><br></div><div>from this information, how do you specify the zonefile for the new, added zone using a pattern? I tried creating a pattern with the zonefile option set to the path of the new, added zone -- then invoked the command with the specified zone and pattern. The problem is that it looks as if the running daemon cannot be made aware of new patterns specified in the nsd.conf without a restart of the daemon (as the nsd-control add zone would work if the daemon was started with the pattern in the nsd.conf, otherwise not).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Am I missing something here? Does anyone have any input on how this workflow should happen without zone transfers? I think I just haven't fully connected the dots on this.</div><div><br></div><div>
