[Pdns-users] Notify from master is not accepted

[Michel Otte]

Hi Roland,

You have left out quite a few details from your setup. What PowerDNS
version are you running? What backend [1] did you configure on the PowerDNS
auth side? What other commands did you run to set up the secondary zone?

>From the context you provide, I take it you are trying to set up PowerDNS
to become a secondary nameserver that receives zone transfers from a
primary BIND nameserver. Please start by reading the PowerDNS modes of
operation section [2] from the manual if not already done so, specifically
the part that discusses secondary operation [3]. Next, make sure the domain
you want PowerDNS to be secondary for is actually created on the PowerDNS
side, for secondary operation [4].

PowerDNS also has something that's called auto-primary mode [5], which
allows a primary nameserver to "provision" a PowerDNS secondary nameserver,
or let PowerDNS automatically discover new zones it should be authoritative
for. This functionality was known as "supermaster", but has been renamed in
recent versions.

Hopefully this helps. With kind regards,
Michel Otte
