I have a BIND slaving from a Plan 9 master without any issues. On the Plan 9 master, start ndb/dns with the -n flag, and add dnsslave entries to /lib/ndb/local for each of your slave hosts. Here are the relevant entries from my /lib/ndb/local. Gandalf is the Plan 9 DNS master, legolas is the BIND slave. dom=yyc.orthanc.ca soa= refresh=3600 ttl=14400 ns=gandalf.yyc.orthanc.ca ns=legolas.yyc.orthanc.ca mbox=lyndon@orthanc.ca dnsslave=legolas.yyc.orthanc.ca dom=0.168.192.in-addr.arpa soa= refresh=3600 ttl=3600 ns=gandalf.yyc.orthanc.ca ns=legolas.yyc.orthanc.ca mbox=lyndon@orthanc.ca dnsslave=legolas.yyc.orthanc.ca Also, make sure /rc/bin/service/tcp53 is enabled on the DNS master host and that the slave can get a connection to it; the slave needs a TCP connection to the master to do the zone transfer. --lyndon
