NAME

        SV_RFC1996_3_6_master_NOTIFY_retransmission - a master periodically sends a NOTIFY request to a slave until timeout

VERIFICATION POINTS

        If UDP is used, a master periodically sends a NOTIFY request to
        a slave until either too many copies have been sent (a "timeout"), an
        ICMP message indicating that the port is unreachable, or until a
        NOTIFY response is received from the slave with a matching query ID,
        QNAME, IP source address, and UDP source port number.

The interval between transmissions, and the total number of
retransmissions, should be operational parameters specifiable by
the name server administrator, perhaps on a per-zone basis.
Reasonable defaults are a 60 second interval (or timeout if
using TCP), and a maximum of 5 retransmissions (for UDP). It is
considered reasonable to use additive or exponential backoff for
the retry interval.

Setup



Set the DNS Server1's (NUT) address as above mentioned Network Topology.

Configure the Server1's: (NUT)
zone file to response query from TN.


configuration file as slave server about sec.example.com zone.


Enable zone transfer function.


Enable Notify mechanism function.



Example of DNS server configuration on DNS Server1 (NUT):

	
For IPv4 transport
zone "sec.example.com" {
	type master;
	allow-transfer { 192.168.0.30; };
	also-notify    { 192.168.0.30; };
	file "master/sec.example.com";
};
	
For IPv6 transport
zone "sec.example.com" {
	type master;
	allow-transfer { 3ffe:501:ffff:100::30; };
	also-notify    { 3ffe:501:ffff:100::30; };
	file "master/sec.example.com";
};
