Key to DNS on Fedora with Windows

I finally (years overdue) got bind 9.6 to work with Windows clients.
All the documentation for any version BEFORE 9.6 is out-of-date, ignore it.

For the zone "wolfish.rouges.org" not (192.168.0.0)
1) make the zone db file owned by the named user
chown -R named:named /var/named/chroot/var/named
2) add the allow-updates attribute to the zone
3) add the check-names ignore; attribute to the zone.

WATCH THE SYNTAX!

The named.conf file is indented perversely, so it is difficult to put the attribute in the correct context.


zone "wolfish.rouges.org." IN {
allow-update {
localnets;
};
check-names ignore;
type master;
file "wolfish.rouges.org.db";
};
