LPIC-2 Exam 202 (Linux Engineer) — Question 13

Which rdnc sub command can be used in conjunction with the name of a zone in order to make BIND reread the content of the specific zone file without reloading other zones as well?

Answer options

• A. lookup
• B. reload
• C. fileupdate
• D. reread
• E. zoneupdate

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'reload', as it specifically instructs BIND to reread the designated zone file while keeping other zones unchanged. The other options do not serve this function; for instance, 'lookup' is used for querying, 'fileupdate' and 'zoneupdate' do not apply to the reloading process, and 'reread' may not target a specific zone.
