Hi

Can anyone tell me how a primary and a secondary dns server for the same
domain, exchange entries, or don't hey?

For example, if I have a primary dns with the entry foo.bar.com pointing to
111.111.111.111
and say a secondary DNS server for that domain without that record.
If i power off the primary DNS server all queries for that domain should go
to the secondary,but if foo.bar.com is not in the secondary - it will not
point there?? right?? or is there somehting i am missing?

Or do you have to update the primary along with the secondary everytime you
want a record added for redundancy?

Thanx
