Search Again: Re: Non QDNS secondary servers From: Men & Mice Support Date: Friday, April 11, 2003 Time: 5:59:36 pm Yes, that's true. Assuming you're both using server software that understands the DNS Notify mechanism, and assuming the necessary zone data is correct, then changes saved to your server will be reflected on his server within seconds. Note that the classic Mac OS version of QuickDNS uses QuickDNS Server, which does not understand the DNS Notify mechanism. In this case, you would be relying on the older refresh mechanism, which means you'd be well-served by setting the Refresh interval at the top of each zone to something like 30 minutes (1800), with the retry interval set to something like 5 minutes (300). ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 1:05 AM +0100 4/11/03, Paul Willis wrote: >Hi > >A quick question... > >Is it correct that once a secondary server has been told it is >secondary for a domain there is nothing else to change/configure, it >just picks up any changes to the zone from the primary. > >So my friend who doesn't run QDNS can be secondary to my QDNS >Primary and I don't need to worry about connecting or doing anything >other than use QDNS manager to make any changes on my server and his >will pick them up. > >Paul
