Is there a way in Yast, when configuring it as a DNS server, to have it go and retrieve the named info from the primary DNS server or must I load that info manually? Not in Yast.
Clone the config by manually copying the zone information on the one machine from /var/lib/named/ to the other machine. You can specify the order of the primary and backup nameservers in your dhcp server by setting the config line in /etc/dhcpd.conf option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.5; The named zone info is identical between the two servers, and the .1.3 server (in this case) will be the primary... assuming that your dhcp clients are setup to pull the nameserver addresses ( resolv.conf ) from dhcp. ~~~ Thank you for your help. Is there a way for the second DNS server to poll info from the first DNS server? For example, if a change is made on the primary server the Secondary server polls the first and adds the change to its own name list. I have seen this on other DNS servers products and I was hoping that Bind might be able to accomplish the same thing.
