The DNS_ZONE_NOTIFY_LEVEL enumeration is a DWORD value that enumerates the levels of notification settings that can be configured on a master DNS server to send out notifications to secondaries about any changes to this zone, so that they can initiate a zone transfer to get updated zone information.

Constant/value

Description

ZONE_NOTIFY_OFF

0x00000000

The Master DNS server does not send any zone notifications.

ZONE_NOTIFY_ALL_SECONDARIES

0x00000001

The Master DNS server sends zone notifications to all secondary servers for this zone, either they are listed as name-servers for this zone or they are present explicitly in the zone notify list for this zone. (DNS notify [RFC1996] is a mechanism in which the primary DNS server for a zone notifies secondary servers about any changes in the zone.)

The Master DNS server sends zone notifications only to those remote servers which are explicitly configured by IP addresses in the aipNotify field in the DNS_RPC_ZONE_INFO structure (section 2.2.5.2.4).
