Re: [cobalt-users] Secondary DNS Setup



No - the secondary DNS *just* needs to know the IP address of the primary and have the ability to do zone transfers from the primary. From then on it just learns the updates from the primary DNS according to the settings you make in the SOA on the primary.

Zone transfers are allowed by default but some people restrict zone transfer access so you must remember to turn it on for the secondary DNS server.

Thanks...

So how exactly is that setup?...Do I just click the SOA button for the domain in the DNS section and put the secondary domain name? Does anything need to be setup on the secondary, or does it get setup automagically from the primary?

Again, please forgive my ignorance...this is something I have been trying to figure out for a while.

Thanks,
Scott
