The rndc.conf Configuration
File
The most significant difference between ndc in BIND
8 and rndc in BIND 9 is that rndc needs
its own configuration file, rndc.conf. This file can
be generated by rndc-confgen commands. The rndc.conf file specifies which server controls and what algorithm the server
should use.
Example 3–1 Sample rndc.conf File
options {
default-server localhost;
default-key "rndc-key";
};
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "qPWZ3Ndl81aBRY9AmJhVtU==";
};

Example 3–2 Sample named.conf File
Entry for rndc
controls {
inet * allow { any; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "qPWZ3Ndl81aBRY9AmJhVtU==";
};
