  • Syntex for primary/secondary

    When seeing up a secondary zone what do I replace ##### with in following (the old syntax was masters instead od master, so I am guessing it needs a new keyword)?
    zone "example.com" {
    type secondary;
    ##### { 192.168.10.1; };
    file "/var/lib/bind/db.example.com";
    };
    in https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_16_4/reference.html it appears that the syntax is till masters?
    4.2.11. masters Statement Grammar
    masters <string> [ port <integer> ] [ dscp
    <integer> ] { ( <masters> | <ipv4_address> [
    port <integer> ] | <ipv6_address> [ port
    <integer> ] ) [ key <string> ]; ... };

    Not yet. In 9.12 we added "primary" and "secondary" as synonyms for
    the "master" and "slave" zone types, but we didn't touch any other
    syntax.

    In 9.17/9.18, we're going further: "primaries" will work in place of
    "masters", and "primary-only" in place of "master-only".

    Old syntax will continue working so old named.conf files don't
    need to be changed, at least for the next several releases.
