[cobalt-users] RE: DNS Zone Transfers permitted and Secondary DNS

["jeanjean" <jeanjean@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is long time ago that i'm looking to automate my secondary DNS. At the
moment, i have to log into the 2 DNS servers (yes i have 2 physical DNS
servers) and in the first one i make the needed DNS entrys, and in the
second i put a 'Secondary Name Service for Domain'
But, i think that it can be more automated, so that we will only have to
make the primary DNS entrys, and the second will 'copy' the needed infos
from the primary.  Or is this a dream ???
I read alot about that, and i found someone telling that this is all the
needed things on the secondary DNS :
>Master/Slave DNS:
>Make site ns1.yourdomain.com with ip 1.2.3.4
>Make site ns2.yourdomain.com sith ip 1.2.3.5
>Make DNS entires for yourdomain.com
>include 'A' records for ns1 and ns2.
>Telnet (SSH) into the server and modify /etc/named.conf
>In the options section, add entries like so:
>options {
>directory "/etc/named";
>listen-on { 1.2.3.4;  1.2.3.5; };
>version "Name Server";
>};
>Issue the command < ndc reload >.
>To see version use "dig @serverip version.bind. CHAOS TXT"
>You now have ns1 and ns2 as nameservers.

This worked 1 time. Yes, the secondary DNS created all the records from the
primary !  YES!  COOL!
But, i at the next record in the primary server, i noticed 24 hours later
that the secondary don't copy the primary's new records !?
I try to insert a 'allowed transfer zone' but nothing helps....
Is there anybody here in the list who can help, and bring a 'tutorial' or a
'how-to' to make that the secondary will copy the primary DNS ?

I hope that this time somebody will answer. This is not my first attempt...
I'm really sory for my bad english, i'm from europe, and i try my best ;)
Thanks for any help, comment or suggestion.
Best regards
Jean
