= Filesystem layout =

On both deleuze and mire, BIND data lives in `/etc/bind`.  This directory is seeded with the default files from the Debian `bind9` package.  Additionally, we add a `zones` subdirectory.

DomTool periodically deposits `/etc/bind/named.conf.local`, listing all of our hosted DNS zones and their master/slave statuses and configuration.  DomTool also populates `/etc/bind/zones` with zonefiles referenced by `/etc/bind/named.conf.local`.

== Permissions ==

`/etc/bind/zones` should be owned by user `bind`, since BIND seems to like creating temporary files there.  I've only yet seen this matter during updating of slave zone information.

This is '''not''' done by editing anything in {{{/etc/bind}}}.  Instead, see ["DomTool/AdminProcedures"].
