server Statementserver ip_addr { [ bogus yes_or_no; ] [ transfers number; ] [ transfer-format ( one-answer | many-answers ); ] [ keys { key_id [key_id ... ] }; ] };
The server statement defines the characteristics to be associated with a remote name server.
If you discover that a server is giving out bad data, marking it as
bogus will prevent further queries to it. The default value of
bogus is no.
The server supports two zone transfer methods. The first,
one-answer, uses one DNS message per resource record
transferred. many-answers packs as many resource records
as possible into a message. many-answers is more
efficient, but is only known to be understood by BIND 8.1 and patched
versions of BIND 4.9.5. You can specify which method to use for a
server with the transfer-format option. If
transfer-format is not specified, the transfer-format
specified by the options statement will be used.
The transfers will be used in a future release of the server
to limit the number of concurrent in-bound zone transfers from the specified
server. It is checked for syntax but is otherwise ignored.
The keys statement is intended for future use by the
server. It is checked for syntax but is otherwise ignored.

The keys clause is used to identify a
key_id defined by the key statement, to be
used for transaction security when talking to the remote server.
The key statememnt must come before the server
statement that references it. When a request is sent to the remote server,
a request signature will be generated using the key specified here and
appended to the message. A request originating from the remote server is not
required to be signed by this key.

bogus is no. Marking a server as bogus
will mark all other addresses for that server as bogus when
a match is made when looking up a server's address by name.

@Import bind v8.2.2.p5, minus the crypto for the time being. The bind
package does have BXA export approval, but the licensing strings on the
dnssafe code are a bit unpleasant. The crypto is easy to restore and bind
will run without it - just without full dnssec support.
