Secondary Zones =============== The Designate v2 API introduced functionality that allows Designate to act as a DNS slave, rather than a master for a zone. This is accomplished by completing a zone transfer (AXFR) from a DNS server managed outside of Designate. RecordSets / Records -------------------- Changes to secondary zones are managed outside of Designate. Users must make the changes they wish, and prompt a fresh zone transfer (AXFR) into Designate to make those changes live on any DNS servers Designate manages. Setup ----- To add a secondary zone to Designate, there must be a DNS master for the zone, to which Designate can act as a slave. For this guide, we assume that you have already set this up. The remaining Designate set up will be similar to a non-secondary zone setup. You'll need a primary DNS server for Designate to manage and transfer secondary zones to. In our examples we'll use the following values: *Name* - example.com. *Masters* - 192.168.27.100 Setup - example NSD4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Skip this section if you have a master already to use. .. note:: For this it is assumed that you are running on Ubuntu. Install ^^^^^^^ For some reason there's a bug with the nsd package so it doesn't create the user that it needs for the installation. So we'll create that before installing the package. .. code-block:: bash $ sudo apt-get install nsd Configure ^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $ sudo zcat /usr/share/doc/nsd/examples/nsd.conf.sample.gz >/tmp/nsd.conf $ sudo mv /tmp/nsd.conf /etc/nsd/nsd.conf Add the following to /etc/nsd/nsd.conf .. note:: If you're wondering why we set notify to `192.168.27.100`:`5354` it's because MDNS runs on 5354 by default. .. code-block:: bash $ sudo vi /etc/nsd/nsd.conf Add the contents: .. code-block:: yaml pattern: name: "mdns" zonefile: "%s.zone" notify: 192.168.27.100@5354 NOKEY provide-xfr: 192.168.27.100 NOKEY allow-axfr-fallback: yes Add a zone file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Create a new *Zone* in NSD called *example.com.* **/etc/nsd/example.com.zone** .. code-block:: bash $ sudo vi /etc/nsd/example.com.zone And add the contents: :: $TTL 1800 ;minimum ttl example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.com. admin.example.net. ( 2014111301 ;serial 3600 ;refresh 600 ;retry 180000 ;expire 600 ;negative ttl ) TXT "v=spf1 +a +mx ~all" SPF "v=spf1 +a +mx ~all" NS ns1.example.com. NS ns2.example.com. NS ns3.example.com. MX 0 mail1.example.com. MX 5 mail2.example.com. MX 10 mail3.example.com. A 10.0.0.1 A 10.0.0.2 A 10.0.0.3 ns1 A 172.16.28.100 ns2 A 172.16.28.101 ns3 A 172.16.28.103 mail1 A 10.0.10.1 mail2 A 10.0.10.2 mail3 A 10.0.10.3 google CNAME google.com. Restart NSD ^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $ sudo service nsd restart Check that it's working .. code-block:: bash $ sudo nsd-control status Activate the zone in NSD .. code-block:: bash $ sudo nsd-control addzone example.com mdns Creating the Zone ----------------- When you create a domain in Designate there are two possible initial actions: - Domain is created but transfer fails if it's not available yet in master, then typically the initial transfer will be done once the master sends first NOTIFY. - Domain is created and transfers straight away. In both cases the interaction between your master and Designate is handled by the MDNS instance at the Designate side. Definition of values: - *email* set to the value of the *managed_resource_email* option in the *central* section of the Designate configuration. - *transferred_at* is **null** and *version* is **1** since the zone has not transferred yet. .. code-block:: console $ openstack zone create --type secondary --masters 192.168.27.100 example.com.
