			PGSQL BIND SDB driver
e55890
e55890
The postgresql BIND SDB driver is of experimental status and should not be 
e55890
used for production systems.
e55890
e55890
Usage:
e55890
e55890
o Use the named_sdb process ( put ENABLE_SDB=yes in /etc/sysconfig/named )
e55890
e55890
o Edit your named.conf to contain a database zone, eg. :
e55890
  
e55890
zone "pgdb.net." IN {
e55890
        type master;
e55890
        database "pgsql  bind        pgdb     localhost pguser pgpasswd";
e55890
        #                ^- DB name  ^-Table  ^-host    ^-user ^-password
e55890
};
e55890
e55890
o Create the database zone table
e55890
  The table must contain the columns "name", "rdtype", and "rdata", and
e55890
  is expected to contain a properly constructed zone.  The program "zonetodb"
e55890
  creates such a table.
e55890
  
e55890
  zonetodb usage:
e55890
    
e55890
    zonetodb origin file dbname dbtable
e55890
e55890
    where
e55890
	origin : zone origin, eg "pgdb.net."
e55890
	file   : master zone database file, eg. pgdb.net.db
e55890
	dbname : name of postgresql database 
e55890
        dbtable: name of table in database
e55890
e55890
    Eg. to import this zone in the file 'pgdb.net.db' into the 'bind' database 
e55890
        'pgdb' table:
e55890
e55890
---
e55890

e55890

e55890
                                                1H

                                                1H )

Issue this command as the pgsql user authorized to update the bind database:
e55890
 
e55890
# zonetodb pgdb.net. pgdb.net.db bind pgdb
e55890
e55890
will create / update the pgdb table in the 'bind' db:
e55890
e55890
$ psql -dbind -c 'select * from pgdb;'
e55890
      name      | ttl  | rdtype |                        rdata

I've tested exactly the above configuration with bind-sdb-9.3.1+ and it works OK.

NOTE: If you use pgsqldb SDB, ensure the postgresql service is started before the named

      service .
