Configuring hosted DNS servers<br />

5. The Master Servers list defines one or more master name servers that<br />

are authorized to transfer zone files to the slave zone. This field is only<br />

active if a slave zone is selected in the list <strong>of</strong> Zones. You can add or<br />

delete zone entries as follows:<br />

To add a new master server to the list, click New and see “Adding<br />

an IP address” on page 10-16 for details.<br />

To delete a master server, highlight a server and click Delete.<br />

6. [Conditional] To modify an advanced configuration setting for the<br />

selected zone, click Advanced. For more information on modifying the<br />

Advanced Server Options window, see “About the Advanced Zone<br />

Configuration window” on page 10-19.<br />

Important: Only experienced DNS administrators should modify an advanced<br />

configuration setting.<br />

7. Click the Save icon in the toolbar to save your changes. To configure<br />

additional name server information, see “About the Zone List window”<br />

on page 10-19.<br />

This window is used to add a new zone entry. In the Zone Name field,<br />

type the name <strong>of</strong> the forward or reverse zone you want to add to the<br />

list. Click Add and then click Close to exit this window.<br />

The Advanced Zone Configuration window is used to define some <strong>of</strong><br />

the more advanced zone configuration options. This window allows<br />

you to configure certain options specifically for the selected zone,<br />

overriding similar options that may be configured for the global name<br />

server (the Unbound or the Internet name server). Follow the steps<br />

below.<br />

Important: Only experienced DNS administrators should modify an advanced<br />

configuration setting.<br />

1. To enable the check-names option, select the corresponding check box.<br />

Enabling this option allows you to determine how the zone will treat<br />

queries that contain non-standard host names (for example, names<br />

with underscores). You can define one <strong>of</strong> three different actions:<br />

warn—If the query contains a name error, provides a response to<br />

the query, but logs a warning message<br />

fail—If the query contains a name error, an error response is<br />

returned<br />

ignore—If the query contains a name error, the name error is<br />

ignored and a response to the query is provided normally. For<br />

example, you should enable this option if you want the zone to<br />

accept queries from hosts that contain underscores in their name.<br />
