NT as a backup to a Linux DNS server

[Kevin Coveney]

On the NT server add the DNS Service.
Go to the administration tool --> DNS manager.
Add a new server (if you haven't already created one)
Add a new zone -> secondary zone: give it a zone name and DNS server name or
IP addr
The manager will ask you for zone name and file (you can accept the default)
Then it will ask you for the IP masters for the secondary.
Hit finish and your done....

NT will add the server and pull the zone.

Good luck!
