Search Again: Re: creating a slave or backup when authoritative isn''t QDNS From: Men & Mice Support Date: Friday, October 4, 2002 Time: 9:28:09 pm You must create a slave zone on your server for each master zone on the other server. If they add more zones, you must also add more zones. They may also need to configure their server to allow this, if their server restricts zone transfers. Furthermore, the other business will have to arrange to have the delegation records for each of their zones updated to also point to your server. For registered domains, this means altering the registration record. For reverse zones, this probably means talking to their ISP. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 4:08 PM -0700 10/4/02, Roland Dumas wrote: >I would like to be the backup for a DNS that isn't under my direct >control.
