Also, BIND implements the EXPIRE value in the SOA. But other DNS server software applications widely ignore this value, and the zone stays authoritative on all servers, no matter how much time elapses between updates (in that case).

And if there are loops in the zone transfer graph slaves can stay alive even if they are checking the serial of the master to see if they need to expire the zone. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka@isc.org
