DSN check-name and how to analze

Here's a quick burb about  dns and names and syntax.  A work  associate ran into this issue today and I figure I would explain a few items.


With most  bind  deployments if you have a "underscore" in the name and do not specifically set   check-names ignore ,  the bind daemon will balk and failed to load the domain zone.



Bind is user friendly and will tell why and where in the file the error is located at . Here it's line #13 and on line #13 I have the following entry that I crafted for this example.



So  that's a quick means for finding  the error and now in order to get the domain load, you need to  enable check-names ignore  (  the other options are fail and warn )
