I have just set up dns using yast in suse 9.2. it seems it uses named and rndc. I would like to be able to stop and start the dns via ssh and so need to be able to control it via the command line.

$rndc -V stop

seems to stop the service fine, but does anyone know how to start the service again???

also i dont see any cache of resolved names, any ideas where this is held? or is it all held in memory? can i not write out to a file to load it up next time?

thanks

This is probably an incredibly stupid answer, but I've never used that service...

$rndc -V start

Perhaps that'll just load up the cache of resolved names if it exists automatically. ...?

unfortunately not! there is a restart option although apparently this is unimlemented. At the moment i am starting it through yast, which is fine if i am on the network, but obviously if i am away it is not too practicle.

nice try anyway
