BIND package: Problem generating zones
0%
Description
I'm using pfSense 2.2.1-RELEASE with the bind package 9.9.6P1_3-amd64.
I created a zone but there's no trace of any bind config file generated for the zone. I looked in /cf/named/etc/namedb. DNS queries for the zone get forwarded upstream instead of being answered authoritatively.
Please advise, thanks.

Finally got my configuration working.
Tips & gotchas...
1. You must first create a View and select that in your Zone, otherwise the GUI will not generate a zone config file.
2. You must set your zone to allow-query or everyone will be denied access to it by default.
3. If you specify a forwarding server, you must end it with a semicolon (even if there's only one) or the GUI will generate an invalid config and BIND will not start.
Everything else was pretty straightforward. I'll update if I think of any more tips.
Thanks!
