Search Again: Re: Forcing a Zone Reload From: Men & Mice Support Date: Monday, October 7, 2002 Time: 3:49:01 pm Actually, because DNS Notify may not always be available, QuickDNS does the following: - Save the zone to file on the master server. - Tell the master server to reload the zone. - Wait a few seconds. - On each slave server, tell the server to reload the zone. This has the effect of starting a refresh check on each slave. If DNS Notify has already done its thing, then this is redundant. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 8:45 AM -0500 10/5/02, Len Conrad wrote: >>Well I was actually wondering if there was a way through the QDNS Pro >>interface.
