For 20 servers, yes, I would totally do exactly that. But I only have 2 :) If that's the solution, I'll just keep adding them manually. Thanks for the info. -wes On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 1:39 PM, Jonathan Petersson wrote: > What I've done is that I maintain a "master-slave" zone on my master, >

Re: zone propagation

2008-12-24 Thread Jonathan Petersson
What I've done is that I maintain a "master-slave" zone on my master, if any new zones are manipulated I push out an updated config to my 20 or so slave-servers, once pushed out a trigger a sudo script via ssh that reloads bind with the new config and viola. /Jonathan On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 7:38

A couple of the DNS registrars I've worked with ask you for the hostname of your DNS nameservers first (e.g. ns1.andyshellam.eu, ns2.andyshellam.eu,) then they work out if they're part of the same domain name (andyshellam.eu.) If they are, they then ask for the IP address of the servers to cre

This is a tough one for all newbies. The problem here is that this particular operation is not related at all to your DNS server. You need to do this at your registrar. The second biggest problem is that all registrars call it something different. I went through this many times when I worked at Do

I'm sure there are other ways but I use webmin to handle all of it for me. I used to do it all manually on the command line, logging into each server and manually adding new zones but webmin has cut the time it takes for me to make dns MACs down to about 10% of what it used to be. On 12/24/08, wes
