FYI, Victoria University are in the process of upgrading the .nz Secondary from Bind 4.9(ish) to 8.2.
In doing so, they will be restricting zone transfers to the Primary and Secondary .nz zone machines.
Can somebody translate above for me?
I guess he is talking about rata.vuw.ac.nz It already appears to restrict XFRS to known hosts
I think you're wrong; I was just able to perform a zone transfer for ac.nz and gen.nz from rata to tardis.patho.gen.nz. I didn't try all the second level zones, but I presume they all have the same transfer policy. Closing this up is a good thing, in my opinion. However, I would have thought that a good policy for authoritative nz nameservers _other_ than ns1.waikato.ac.nz would be "deny all" -- there is no reason (for example) why a CLEAR Net nameserver would need to perform a zone transfer from rata.
