Correct: the master must be a master, and the slave a slave. :) Zones are transferred via AXFR. > The documentation mentions all sorts of scenarios, but what it > lacks is examples: even with following section 2.1.

Don't know offhand (and I'm too lazy to look it up), but the chapter on PowerDNs in http://mens.de/:/book may help you. [Disclaimer: I wrote it.] > Does one need to UPDATE the "serial" field in the "zones" table, > or the "content" field in the "records" table WHERE TYPE = 'SOA', > or both? You mean the `domains' table. A slave server will transfer a zone only if it detects the SOA serial on the master server is higher than its own. So, when you update a record in your master's database, increment the SOA serial number for that zone's SOA record. -JP _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
