Re: [9fans] Authoritative Name Server

I've got the basic setup going, and have tested it for appropriate
information using ndb/dnsquery in Plan 9 (on the same computer
that is running `ndb/dns -rns`).

However, when I test the name server using:

dig @ns1.nanosouffle.net nanosouffle.net axfr

I get partial data back, but the transfer fails with:
;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet.
; Transfer failed.

Does this indicate that I should use your ndbtozone program?
How do you automate the process of converting to dns format
and then sending the data, when doing a zone transfer?
My secondary nameservers are running BIND on UNIX.


Thanks,
