Search Again: Re: secondary server not working on most domains From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, June 5, 2001 Time: 3:57:34 am What version of QuickDNS are you using? That affects the details of the answer. I will assume you're using QuickDNS 3.5 for the rest of this message.

Yes, that is correct. Since it's able to load recently-added domains, check the non-functioning zones' master server IP address. To do this: - Open the zone options dialog. There are several ways to do this; the easiest is to hold down the option key and double-click on the zone. - From the popup menu, select your secondary server. - Make sure that the IP address listed is the address of the primary server. If it isn't, change it. Repeat for every zone. If there are a large number of zones with problems, you can use AppleScript to first delete all zones, then recreate them all correctly. If you need a script to delete all zones from the secondary server, contact me off list, since I just made one for my own use a few hours ago. The script to create all the slave zones on the server is included with QuickDNS Manager for Mac OS. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
