But there is a solution... A USB 3.0 A Male to A Female Adapter (Part # 1206-N, UPC 848076012233) from a company named CMPLE. It is available from several places: [https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cmple-USB-3-0-A-Male-to-A-Female-Adapter/172246645 Wal-Mart], [https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-USB-3-0-A-MALE-TO-A-FEMALE-M-F-ADAPTER-CONNECTOR-NEW-/362695174727 eBAy], and from the company that appears to have it manufactured (in China), [https://www.cmple.com/ProductsBySKU/1206-N CMPLE]. Even at about $3.00 it is a bit more expensive than other similar products (and there are only a few). But it has one advantage in that the orientation of the male and female part of the connector are arranged such that the above noted 3 Port USB 3.0 hub from Sabrent can connect and be in the "up" position. All other similar items found require that the hub be rotated to the left, right, or down. Down isn't a choice unless one's router is on the edge of a table. Left and right are good as the adapter provides enough clearance for the hub so it doesn't contact the power cord or the Ethernet cable on the WAN port. | But there is a solution...

...not even close. An mSATA SSD in the above enclosure blew everything else out of the water. And it was just an average mSATA SSD (https://www.newegg.com/vaseky-v800-128gb/p/0D9-00D6-00008?Item=9SIAGKC7VJ8289). Together, maybe a bit more expensive than a similar sized good Flash Drive, but as DeadPool said, "...worth it!" | ...not even close.

The above setting can be applied on a zone by zone basis or it can be placed in the main ''options'' section to apply to all zones. And again, even though the name of the setting seems to apply to master zone files, it also changes the format setting for slave zone files (IE, there is no slavefile-format directive / command). | The above setting can be applied on a zone by zone basis or it can be placed in the main ''options'' section to apply to all zones.

Also Note: The Setup RDNC Button in Webmin seems to work (IE, it generates the rndc.conf file, updates the named.conf file, etc.), but the format it applies in the named.conf doesn't seem to work. Syntax wise it is correct, but it doesn't work. Solution? Run the rndc-config command manually; | |||
* rndc-config > /etc/bind/rndc.conf | |||
* ...then open the rndc.conf file and copy the section at the bottom into the named.conf file. | |||
