(ISSUE) Expected Behavior: The Bind server with the following configuration:

=========================================================================== /etc/named.conf:

// This file was built using fmDNS 4.1.0 on Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:46:11 +0200 Europe/Belgrade

options { directory "/var/named"; version none; hostname none; recursion no; statistics-file "/var/named/named.stats"; zone-statistics yes; pid-file "/var/named/named.pid"; dump-file "/var/named/named.dump"; auth-nxdomain no; cleaning-interval 120; interface-interval 0; };

include "/var/named/zones/zones.conf.all";

===========================================================================
/var/named/zones/master/zone.test.unic.kg.ac.rs:
===========================================================================
; This file was built using fmDNS 4.1.0 on Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:46:11 +0200 Europe/Belgrade

$TTL 3600
test.unic.kg.ac.rs. IN SOA testdns01.test.unic.kg.ac.rs.test.unic.kg.ac.rs. root.test.unic.kg.ac.rs. (

        3600 )      ; Negative caching of TTL

testdns02.test.unic.kg.ac.rs.      IN   A   147.91.209.13

=========================================================================== /var/named/zones/zones.conf.all:

// This file was built using fmDNS 4.1.0 on Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:46:11 +0200 Europe/Belgrade

zone "test.unic.kg.ac.rs" { type master; file "/var/named/zones/master/zone.test.unic.kg.ac.rs"; };

(ISSUE) Actual Behavior:

When run client update, instead of writing into the zone file configured /var/named/zones/master/zone.test.unic.kg.ac.rs, the cron update method writes into /var/named/zones/master/db.test.unic.kg.ac.rs.hosts which is not listed in /var/named/zones/zones.conf.all and then invisible for Bind.

(ISSUE) Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure the server in the GUI with the configuration described.
2. Add A record in the GUI.
3. Run the client on the Bind server or wait for cron.
4. A new A entry is invisible to the server since /var/named/zones/master/db.test.unic.kg.ac.rs.hosts was updated and /var/named/zones/master/zone.test.unic.kg.ac.rs was not updated.

Many thanks!

It seems that the client does not respect settings Zone Filename Format and uses only default db.{ZONEFILE}.hosts.

Furthermore, something similar also happens with a reverse zone. When one defines a new reverse zone in the UI, the agent saves it into i.e. db.209.91.147.in-addr.arpa.hosts. However, on each update, it writes into db.209.91.147.in-addr.arpa.rev which is invisible for the bind daemon. Any known fix or workaround?

I mark this issue as a duplicate of #519 and closing it accordingly.
