Hello,

What is the best way to set up a slave dns server? I have a master running, but I am curious if there is a quick way to import zones from the master to the slave.

Thank you for your help.

James, As Per said, slave dns setup is fairly trivial. I have posted my slave dns config: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/linux/cnf/named.conf.slave it includes the commented out "master" zones that were used for "slave" zones on the slave dns so you can see just what the changes are between master/slave setup. (not much). Additionally, you will need to add the 'allow-transfer' directive in the master named.conf in order for your slave to be able to grab the zone files. I have a copy of my master from the same setup here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/linux/cnf/named.conf.master.txt Good luck -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
