Accidentally over-wrote named.conf

Question

I've accidentally overwritten my named.conf. I haven't restarted named, yet.

Is it possible to get a complete copy of all the zones that it is currently serving so that I can replace the configuration file?

Answer 1

You can do an AXFR with dig @localhost example.com axfr to get the contents of a specific zone (assuming that you've allowed AXFR transfers), but I don't think that there's a way to list the configured zones. You should probably be using etckeeper and be making backups for situations like this though ;-)
