 five different zone types. 
  master 
  
  
-The server has a master copy of the data for the zone andwill be able to provide authoritative answers for it. slaveA slave zone is a replica of a master zone. The masterslist specifies one or more IP addresses that the slave con-tacts to update its copy of the zone. If a port is speci-fied then checks to see if the zone is current and zonetransfers will be done to the port given. If file is speci-fied, then the replica will be written to the named file.Use of the file clause is highly recommended, since itoften speeds server startup and eliminates a needless wasteof bandwidth. stubA stub zone is like a slave zone, except that it replicatesonly the NS records of a master zone instead of the entirezone. forwardA forward zone is used to direct all queries in it to otherservers, as described in __ THE OPTIONS STATEMENT__ section.The specification of options in such a zone will overrideany global options declared in the options statement.If either no forwarders clause is present in the zone or anempty list for forwarders is given, then no forwarding willbe done for the zone, cancelling the effects of anyforwarders in the options statement. Thus if you want touse this type of zone to change only the behavior of theglobal forward option, and not the servers used, then youalso need to respecify the global forwarders. hintThe initial set of root nameservers is specified using ahint zone. When the server starts up, it uses the roothints to find a root nameserver and get the most recentlist of root nameservers.Note: previous releases of BIND used the term primary for amaster zone, secondary for a slave zone, and cache for ahint zone.__Classes__The zone's name may optionally be followed by a class.
