<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">I am working on shutting down a site which has an isc-bind server that is master for a domain and subnet which will exist elsewhere once the site is closed. The few remaining systems don't warrant such a server. My goal is to merge what remains of the domain/subnet into an existing server which is master for other domains/subnets. My current thinking is to:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>freeze changes on the server being retired (fortunately DHCP's DDNS won't be an issue by that point)</div>
<div>shut down that server</div>
<div>take the data files (forward and reverse zone with associated journal files) and place them on the remaining server</div>
<div>make sure the data file types are consistent</div>
<div>change the the remaining server's type from slave to master for the zones in question</div>
<div>restart the remaining server</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this a good plan? If not, how should I proceed?</div>
<div>Anything I'm missing?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your input.</div>
