tenhishadow.manage_bind

=========

This tool automatically configures BIND on managed servers. It checks the configuration and zones before restarting.

During setup, Ansible will:

Install and set up firewalld (unless the default variable "firewalld" is changed)
Install BIND in a chroot environment
Configure named and its zones, checking for syntax errors with named-checkconf and named-checkzone
Restart the BIND service if everything is successful
