I see. I think I should have a recent version of the ARM at home. :-)
So just to make sure I understand: If I want a slave server to transfer
both views of a zone from the master then I need two IPs on the master
and two IPs on the slave. The "notify-source" will take care of
refreshing the right view of the zone on the slave and the
"transfer-source" will take care of pulling the right view of the zone
from the master. Actually that's not so much different from the
traditional split DNS. It's not that I want to criticize. I don't have a
problem with that. I only want to know what's feasible.
