The invention discloses a covering
multicast zone file transmitting method and
system. An overlaying network is composed of all authoritative servers serving the same
cell, a
zone file forwarding function is added to all the servers to obtain a novel
zone file transmitting
system, and the
system can achieve
multicast transmission of zone files from the main
server to other auxiliary servers. The covering
multicast zone file transmitting method includes the steps that an original direct transmission between the DNS main
server and the DNS auxiliary servers is changed to be
indirect transmission with the DNS auxiliary servers as
relay nodes; a forwarding dispatch
server is additionally arranged and used for collecting link information between all the authoritative servers, a multicast tree is calculated through a certain multicast tree generating
algorithm, and respective forwarding tables are calculated for all the authoritative servers. According to the method, because links among the auxiliary servers are used for
data transmission, zone
file transmission is accelerated, and meanwhile the covering multicast zone file transmitting method and system can save capital and are convenient to achieve and popularize.
