Yes, BIND. :) If all of these are true: - your primary server's zone file lists both your name servers in the SOA - your primary server's been told it's master for that zone - your slave server's been told it's a slave for that zone (and who the master is) Then when you start the secondary server up, it will automatically get the zone file from the primary. If you modify the zone, the primary will notify the secondary of the change, and the secondary will get a new copy of the zone file. This does mean that you inform have to infrom both servers of the domain in question. If you have a fluid set of domains, your new question becomes 'how can I propegate changes to my named.conf file?'. > Thanks, > > Erin -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert reichert@numachi.com 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
