I suppose the way to handle this is to make the first server a caching nameserver forwarding to the second server and then outside. The second server then forwards only outside. Changes are made to the second server *only* (or it caches from outside) and the primary server gets its changes by caching the second. If the primary is down the secondary gets it. If the secondary is down the primary forwards to its secondary forwarder (outside). I'm gonna have to play with this some more.... just for fun... :)
I missed what you need this for, but if the idea is to provide local DNS for a LAN, while also being able to resolve outside names, you may want to look at the "dnsmasq" package. It's designed to do specifically that, and it's easier to set up than a full-blown nameserver. Of course, if your goal is to learn bind, you should go ahead and work on setting up named.conf to do what you want. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
