DNS Transfers Question

**mr_fern** · October 2nd, 2006, 4:35 PM

I need to transfer my DNS Zone information over to another nameserver. How can I set up the current DNS server to allow the transfer? Anyone on here know or should I ask support?

Forgot about looking through my O'Reilly DNS and Bind Book.

I was hoping it was possible through WHM but doesn't look like it. Had to open up the configuration file (/etc/named.conf by default on these servers) and add the following line:

allow-transfer { ip-address1; ip-address2; };

in the proper zone. alternatively it can be included in the options section.
