RCS, either regularly triggered:
*/15 * * * * ci -u -m"Zone Update" root.zone.secondary.file ; co -l
root.zone.secondary.file
(Add your own wrapper to ensure you don't RCS the file during an
actual zone reload)
or the same triggered on a zone change (logsurfer/named-xfer). The
important thing is to keep copies of zone changes as they occur which you
can roll back if required. Add your own dns-lint/awwooga, too many
changes scripts.
(I run RCS on the zones under our control, but not as yet on the zones we
secondary; just give me a few moments ;) )
The 'Internet' is a physical and social network which was founded on
casual trust. Hackers have shown that this trust can be abused, Crackers
have shown that it will be abused. And NetSOL?
