[BlueOnyx:11050] Secondary DNS records: no expire?

[Roy Urick]

We ran into an interesting situation last week that we hope to not have happen again. 

We had our primary dns server go down. Shortly thereafter, our secondary stopped responding because the DNS records weren't updated (so I assume) so they expired and were purged. That left us with a primary server that was down and a secondary sever with no records... Which of course caused our domain to go dark for a little while. 


Is there a way to set BIND to hold the records indefinitely, or at least until they are actively deleted?
