[chef] Re: Configure DNSslaves with chef

[Pete Cheslock < >]

You could try to setup a secondary DNS server and use zone transfers to keep the master (kept up to date with chef) and the slaves up to date with the master?

I’m looking at some DNS masters configured with chef, using the built-in tools to audit for chef clients and populate DNS zones with them. So far, so good. The DNS master works well.

 

But I’d really like to set up a DNS slave with chef, for when the DNS server needs restarting or OS upgrades. Unfortnately, I  don’t seen any hooks for DNS slaves in the bind9 cookbook. And ideally, I’d like to have two chef servers, one for one DNS domain, and another for another DNS domain, and allow them to be masters and slaves for each other to provide failover. I’d really prefer not to write one from scratch, if I can avoid it gracefully.
