I knew what I wanted to say in my head, it just never makes it to the email that way. :-) ok, If I add the domain into the named.conf and set it up on the primary, what I would like to do is have it automatically set its self up on the secondary in the named.conf and then get a cop of the zone file. Does this make sense?
