Browse All TopicsTrying to get a Split Brain DNS to work, I need to run two named daemons. The problem is, the system, Slackware 10, wants to use one path /etc/named.conf
I need to know what sets this path to begin with, and/or, how to add options to either named, bind, or something to get it to read the config file that I specify, and to set the path of two pids so that it can run them both.
The Linux Chroot Bind HOWTO mentioned a directive to set the pid in /var/run, but I want to also have two named running, one intnamed and the other extnamed, set a pid for each in a different location and to use different pid's. One will start, extnamed, but the intenamed conflicts on the pid port number because they're both the same.
How do you get named to use a different path than /etc/named.conf for the named configuratin file at start up?
