Then in the event of a disaster, change all the zone statements from slave to master. That way, you won't be dependent on OS processes for transferring and synchronizing the data between the two masters.</div><div><br></div><div>Your other choice is to use rsync to synchronize files between the two masters, perhaps as a cron job.</div><div><br></div><div>Chris Buxton</div><br></body></html>
