We run 2 BIND in master/master configuration in two geographically separate datacenters. This is done because a master/slave configuration has certain limitations if the master goes down (slave can not be easily modified).<BR>
<BR>
The setup we have works great -- we make changes to "A" or "MX" records in MASTER-A and there is a script that runs every 5 minutes that copies these files to MASTER-B:<BR>
<BR>
/var/named/chroot/var/named/*.hosts and *.rev<BR>
<BR>
So I created a new master zone on MASTER-A, call it "test.com", it creates a new file test.com.hosts on MASTER-A<BR>
<BR>
This file is replicated (copied) to MASTER-B but even though the script reloads BIND on MASTER-B it does not work. I think there might be a file that has a list of all the hosts or is there some other file I need to also copy over ? I checked the directory structures and can not find it.<BR>
<BR>
So my setup has been working great modifying existing zones adding and removing records. But when I add a new zone, it apparently does not work. So I think I am missing an important file that lists all the zones BIND uses? What BIND file am I needing to copy to properly replicate MASTER-A to MASTER-B? I hope this is something very simple ..<BR> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390710/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get it now.</a></body>
