The slaves/masters file

1. Empty lines, whitespaces and strings after hash mark (#) aren't count.
2. Every line has exactly one rule.
3. Every rule has two or three parameters delimited by a colon (:).
4. Two-parameter rules mean zone copy via ssh from remote host's standard directory path (see ETC in etc/conf).
5. Three-parameter rules which third parameter starts with slash mean zone copy via ssh from remote host's specified path.
6. Other three-parameter rules mean zone copy via axfr-get.

Rule format:

     file name:remote name[:zone or sysconfigdir name]

where

• file name: the zone will be stored under this name (without '.conf' suffix)
• remote name: it can be either an IP address (AXFR), or an ssh remote address in username@hostname format.
• zone name: it specifies the domain name what is downloaded.
• sysconfigdir name: specifies the sysconfig directory if the local or remote one (ETC variable in etc/conf file) is not the same (default: /etc)

Example

     # SSH gets:
     #    filename (without .conf):username@hostname[:/sysconf/dir]
     #    as host:dnsread@a.ns.host.com:/etc/dns
     #
     # AXFR gets:
     #    filename:hostname:zone
     #    as host:ns.host.com:host.com

     lamer:     dnsread@a.ns.lamer.com:/etc/domains # Lamer.Com
     iksz:      dnsread@a.ns.iksz.hu                # Iksz.Hu
     binduser:  ns.bindusers.net  :bindusers.net    # Bind Users.Net
