PGSQL BIND SDB driver
The postgresql BIND SDB driver is of experimental status and should not be
used for production systems.
Usage:
o Use the named_sdb process ( put ENABLE_SDB=yes in /etc/sysconfig/named )
o Edit your named.conf to contain a database zone, eg. :
zone "pgdb.net." IN {
type master;
database "pgsql bind pgdb localhost pguser pgpasswd";
# ^- DB name ^-Table ^-host ^-user ^-password
};
o Create the database zone table
The table must contain the columns "name", "rdtype", and "rdata", and
is expected to contain a properly constructed zone. The program "zonetodb"
creates such a table.
zonetodb usage:
zonetodb origin file dbname dbtable
where
origin : zone origin, eg "pgdb.net."
file : master zone database file, eg. pgdb.net.db
dbname : name of postgresql database
dbtable: name of table in database
Eg. to import this zone in the file 'pgdb.net.db' into the 'bind' database
'pgdb' table:
---
#pgdb.net.db:
$TTL 1H
@ SOA localhost. root.localhost. ( 1

NS localhost.

Issue this command as the pgsql user authorized to update the bind database:
# zonetodb pgdb.net. pgdb.net.db bind pgdb
will create / update the pgdb table in the 'bind' db:
$ psql -dbind -c 'select * from pgdb;'
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 .
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
