Search Again: Unreasonable Zone Transfers? From: Juergen Schreck Date: Friday, July 6, 2001 Time: 8:52:13 am Hi, I have a general question for this list. A while back I asked about what parameter determines at what intervals a secondary nameserver issues zone transfers from a primary because my ISP was doing transfers every 10 minutes - which didn't match any of my parameters. Now today I get a message from they DNS support group that the 10 minute interval is set on their site and that's why they transfer zones that often. It total disregards the REFRESH in my zone-info. Is that reasonable? I've got only about 15 zones right now, but there will definitely be more. Seems like an awful lot of unnecessary stress... What's worse, they are issuing zone transfers from 3 secondaries (for redundancy on their upstream connections I suppose). So every 10 minutes I'm getting hit with 45 transfers. Can they do that? Aren't there some rules to be followed here? I suppose I could restrict zone-transfers to just one of the IP's to cut down on the multiple servers, but still - every 10 minutes? Should I be looking for alternative secondaries? What are my options? Thanks in advance, Juergen Schreck
