betacor : 18/09/02 11:50 PM : Incident created -   Can anyone tell me how to set up my slave (secondary) DNS server? My master(Primary) works fine but I don't see any records on my slave. Thanks Morgan
Linegod_7611 : 19/09/02 04:30 PM : Reply received -   You need to tell the Primary where the secondary is in '/etc/named.conf' - where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your Secondary DNS: ------- server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx { transfers 1000; }; ------- And on the secondary, you need to create an entry in the zone file for each domain you want to be secondary for - where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP for your Primary DNS: ------- zone "mydomain.ca"{ type slave; file "mydomain.ca"; masters { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; ------- Remember to restart 'named' on both boxes, and you're set. ----- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
betacor : 19/09/02 09:10 PM : More info provided -   Great! I did that, it makes sense. After doing that I looked at var/named and I see the file records but they are all 0kb. is there a way to do some kind of refresh or does this happen automatically. Thanks
