zone "zonename.com" IN {
type slave;
masters {x.x.x.x};
file "zonename.com";
allow-update { none; };
};
* where zonename.com is your zone's name
* where x.x.x.x is the IP address of master dns server
* in "file" line choose the filename that you wish.It will be created under /var/named directory.
save the /etc/named.conf file and then restart the named service.If everything is set correctly on Master dns server - after restart the file will be created automatically for your zone under /var/named
From my understanding, You should have assigned both server's nameserver on domain registar rgiht?. Also you should have mirror site?. Am I right?.
When it get the nameservers from domain registar, it will get the IP of the nameserver and will be directed to the server. If the server is down then all dead.
Am I confusing?. Can you give better explanation of it.
