RE: *************:RE: multiple named process in a single machine?

For this you would need to use a transfer-source statement in each
named.conf. To save you some time I did a quick search in the manual and
copied the "official" explanation here:

transfer-source
transfer-source determines which local address will be bound to the TCP
connection used to fetch all zones transferred inbound by the server. If
not set, it defaults to a system controlled value which will usually be
the address of the interface ``closest to'' the remote end. This address
must appear in the remote end's allow-transfer option for the zone being
transferred, if one is specified. This statement sets the
transfer-source for all zones, but can be overridden on a per-zone basis
by including a transfer-source statement within the zone block in the
configuration file.

The TCP port is simply used for zone transfers between authoritative
servers for a zone, or in some rare cases a query response that is too
large for UDP transfer. You will not be doing either of these with the
root name servers. The "server-to-server" communication you are
referring to is actually a recursive query, and these are handled on UDP
53 just like resolver-to-server communication is...

Hope this helps again!

Thanks for your reply.

I've adjusted /etc/namedxx.conf and added 'controls {inet
THE_IP_THAT_NAMED_PROCESS_USE }', and thus rndc worked and no error
reported.

The 'TCP socket address in use' still exist. Per my understanding,
bind9 use UDP for dns query, TCP for domain server communication, so
this will bring suffer if my servers-in-single-machine communicate
with other servers, including ROOT domain. Is this right? If so can I
avoid it? I generally don't know if this solution is popular, or
common customer will buy in this solution, for multiple named process
in a single machine.

Thx.
