OpenSuSE: the relation between /etc/var/named.d and /var/lib/named
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/24
For first time BIND named users on OpenSuSE there is often confusion on the relation between these directories:
/etc/named.d//var/lib/named/
For example here someone else struggled: [WayBack] Re: Fwd: Re: [opensuse] Split DNS? Solved
This is how I inferred the workings:
The /etc/named.conf.include is re-generated at named start by running /usr/share/bind/createNamedConfInclude by including files that both match NAMED_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in /etc/sysconfig/named and exist in the /etc/named.d/ directory.
At named startup, it also copies everything from /etc/named.d to /var/lib/named/etc/named.d

- https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/bind file called vendor-files.tar.bz2 – look for file
