Search Again: Re: failed secondary From: Suzanne Swift Date: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 Time: 3:07:30 pm This report is REALLY helpful. I am the other half of this issue. Mitch and I are serving as backup DNS for each other. Is it possible that my TTL settings were set too low so that the record expired on Mitch's machine before it could start serving my domains when my DNS server went off-line? Regards, Suzanne P.S. Though the report says they were 300, they were actually 3600. >>infoedg.com >>boydlighting.com >>officeinteriorsltd.com >>plus about 45 others >> >>Their DNS servers are back up now, but I still would like to know why none >>of the sites showed up until I moved infoedg.com from secondary on my >>server to primary.
