Aside from that, I'm not sure >what you're asking. so what would we do, remove the cname from our primaries records and change the Internic address to just like ns.valueport.com? What about our secondary server, what would we make it? ns2.valueport.com 209.209.9.60 <The secondary doesn't need to know the name of the primary, just the address. So it doesn't care what name you give the primary in the zone file. It will pull a copy of the zone file and use it as is.> So how hard it is to secondary anyhow? Is it like you just set up one record and that's it? I have ten virtual domains. Do I need their information all on my secondary as well, or what? <The name you give your secondary doesn't have to be ns2.valueport.com; it can be anything.valueport.com. The name is irrelevant, so long as it is (a) legal according to the host naming rules, and (b) unique within your domain.> Where does my secondaries name go in my secondaries dns? I copied over all the records and data from the primary and put it in a folder so that it all opens when I open DNS pro. Did I not need to do that? <Your example above is absolutely correct. This is what you'd put in the Secondary Data window on your secondary server. Most likely, you won't want to put anything in the Secondary Data window on the primary server. You'd only do that if your primary server (ns.valueport.com) was acting as secondary for another domain.> so let me get this right...all I need to do to secondary somebody is to type in that information and it will secondary all the virtual hosts as well?
