Secondary DNS for Enkompass

[chrisfe]

I am running a single server environment on Enkompass. How is the best way to handle the secondary DNS. I installed Web Edition in Hyper-V and joined it to the domain. I added the DNS server role, but I don't know how to run this as a DNS secondary. I don't see any way to add this in the control panel. Should I just add it as a web hosting server even though I don't intend to host any sites in it?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Enkompass will add sites to the DNS server and primary DNS server in Active Directory will replicate them to the additional DNS servers in AD.

This doesn't seem to be possible with Server 2008 Web? Do I need Server 2008 Standard for this to happen? Does the secondary name server need to be a DC?

I was wondering this too.

I would want to set up at least one additional DNS server in a another geographical location.

Is there any documentation on what the requirments are for the DNS-Only servers and how to cluster them with other DNS servers in an Enkompass environment?

I just set his up last week and there is no real Enkompass doc on how to do this. Since the handling is more MS domain stuff Google results will be a good guide for setting up and configuring a secondary DNS server. I went ahead and set mine up as a secondary domain controller for redundancy there as well and it keeps the DNS zones updated. The post I loosely followed is here (win 2003 but I found it applicable to 2008 as well):

The following suggests that the DNS role is not available in the Web edition. Not sure what situation chrisfe has run into:

Can't install DNS service on Web Server 2008.

Does anyone know if Enkompass can use existing cPanel BIND for DNS redundancy? We already have a BIND cluster running cPanel DNS-only and it would be great if Enkompass could use this.
