B10-XFRIN(8)

NAME
b10-xfrin - Incoming DNS zone transfer service

SYNOPSIS

b10-xfrin

DESCRIPTION

The b10-xfrin daemon provides the BIND 10 incoming DNS zone transfer service. Normally it is started by the bind10(8) boss process. When triggered it can request and receive a zone transfer and store the zone in a BIND 10 zone data store.

    Note

    The Y1 prototype release only supports AXFR. IXFR is not implemented.

This daemon communicates with BIND 10 over a b10-msgq(8) C-Channel connection. If this connection is not established, b10-xfrin will exit.

b10-xfrin receives its configurations from b10-cfgmgr(8).

CONFIGURATION AND COMMANDS

The configurable setting is transfers-in which defines the maximum number of inbound zone transfers that can run concurrently. The default is 10.

The configuration commands are:

shutdown stops all incoming zone transfers and exits b10-xfrin. (Note that the BIND 10 boss process will restart this service.)

retransfer triggers the transfer in for a single zone without checking the zone's serial number. It has the following arguments: zone_name to define the zone to request and master to define the IP address of the authoritative server to transfer from.

    Note

    This prototype version uses SQLite3 as its data source backend. Future versions will be configurable, supporting multiple data storage types.
