Structure of a policy file

The policy file is an INI file that is easy to read and modify. The policy file contains sub-policies identified by a name. The default sub-policy is bind. The various options under a sub-policy identify the policy-related actions. You cannot add sub-policies; however, you may modify the existing ones.

The contents of a policy file are as follows:

[bind]

add_a = yes

add_aaaa = yes

add_cname = yes

add_mx = yes

add_ns = yes

add_ptr = yes

add_srv = yes

add_txt = yes

add_zone = yes

delete_a = yes

delete_aaaa = yes

delete_cname = yes

delete_mx = yes

delete_ns = yes

delete_ptr = yes

delete_srv = yes

delete_txt = yes

delete_zone = yes

edit_soa = yes

To revoke permission on an action, set the attribute to no; to grant permission, set the attribute to yes.
