DNS Master Slave Configuration

1.Master and slave configuration
2.acl setting
3.view setting

For making the Dns a Master dns server we give the type master and for making that slave we give type slaves. And by defaults in slaves the files will be copied from master to slaves defautl /var/named/slaves/ directory.
 
Acl setting acl setting is used to group a set of networks or individual ip's under a single name.

View setting is used to isolate the dns zones for a specific network as per acl or given ip's.we could give the ip's or network or acl which has access to the view in match-client {;}; option inside the view option .
