BIND-9X-001042 - The BIND 9.x server implementation must maintain at least 3 file versions of the local log file.

Information

DNS software administrators require DNS transaction logs for a wide variety of reasons including troubleshooting, intrusion detection, and forensics. Ensuring that the DNS transaction logs are recorded on the local system will provide the capability needed to support these actions.

Solution

Edit the 'named.conf' file.

Add the 'versions' variable to the end of the 'file' sub statement in the channel statement.

Configure the 'versions' sub statement to a number that is greater or equal to 3.

Restart the BIND 9.x process.
