DNS Replication

[till]

it won't break existing DNS entries, will it?

I dont think so. But you hould make a backup of the mydns.conf file as it contains the queries and login details for the database and might have to be restores after the mydns update. Also make a backup of the whole ispconfig mysql database, just to be sure.

ok, will do. Thank you.

I will report back with results.

everything went smoothly, it seems.

will report back wether transfers are made correctly now

[manarak]

err... most recent mydns still has the dreaded query bug:

and no, transfers are not made correctly.
what a bummer.

So, I would like to fix myDNS and apply the following change:

Change that query in axfr.c to check for "active='Y'" instead of "active=1" and recompile mydns.

But I have no experience with compiled code, so can someone please post a step-by-step explanation how to do it?

Currently running MyDNS version 1.2.8.27

I done it before installing, I dont know if this coud be updated without uninstalling anything. Everything you have to do is edit in any text editor described piece. If you will have any problems, write to me.

Well, the change in the text editor is not not the issue.

The issue is compiling that file and replacing the corresponding binary.

I think just replacing the one binary with the fixed version would be enough, no need to uninstall anything.

I just don't know how to compile?
