BIND Provider

This provider maintains a directory with a collection of .zone files.

Configuration

In your credentials file (creds.json), you can specify a directory where the provider will look for and create zone files. The default is the zones directory where dnscontrol is run.

{% highlight json %} { "bind": { "directory": "myzones" } } {% endhighlight %}

The BIND provider does not require anything in creds.json. It does accept some optional metadata via your DNS config when you create the provider:

{% highlight javascript %} var BIND = NewDnsProvider('bind', 'BIND', { 'default_soa': { 'master': 'ns1.example.tld.', 'mbox': 'sysadmin.example.tld.', 'refresh': 3600, 'retry': 600, 'expire': 604800, 'minttl': 1440, }, 'default_ns': [ 'ns1.example.tld.', 'ns2.example.tld.', 'ns3.example.tld.', 'ns4.example.tld.' ] }) {% endhighlight %}

If you need to customize your SOA or NS records, you can do so with this setup.
