Hi Will,
go to:
Webmin-->Servers-->BIND DNS Servers--> select the zone<domain>
This should bring you to the "Edit Master Zone"
select "Edit Zone Options"
Fill in the box "Allow transfers from..."
My Webmin-VM is GPL but they should be similar.
Good luck.
Joe
That's true, if I want to edit the directive for every zone individually.
Bind 8/9 allows a global options directive as well, which is a lot easier than editing 20-30 zones individually, and that's what I was looking for to edit via webmin.
The global directive is the default, unless specific zones have other information.
Also, from a configuration standpoint, it might be a good idea to disable recursive lookups as part of the virtualmin install, to keep those pesky ISP's from blocking the DNS server.
I know that both those options are making some assumptions about what people are doing, but both options that I am suggesting are considered security best practices.
Thanks for the hard work Joe!
Will
