Auto slave DNS update

[viktor_smk]

Hello!

Currently I'm using 2 NS-servers (BIND). The first one (master) is on the cPanel-server, and the second one (slave) - on other remote host.
I am looking for a way to configure my BIND slave (ns2) to automatically update itself with new zones that have been added/modified on the master (ns1) so that I do not need to manually update ns2 with new zone information. Can you give me some advice/link to article, where I can find the way to do that.

Thanks a lot!

Have you considered installing cPanel DNS-Only (a free product) on the remote server and creating a DNS Cluster between the two servers such that the cPanel/WHM machine (ns1) will push records to the DNS-Only machine (ns2)?

Thanks!

But after I install Dns-only (with # sh cpanel-universal-dnsonly-install.sea), what exactly will this do on the server (I have other software on it, including standalone BIND). Will this overwrite something? What exactly will be installed and overwritten?

DNS-Only installs a very stripped down of cPanel/WHM that only handles DNS synchronization. DNS-Only will not install any services such as BIND, Apache etc. DNS-Only will interface with your existing BIND installation to add/modify records from the remote server(s) in the DNS cluster as needed.

That output in the beginning of the installation scared me and I stopped it. Is there other way to set up the slave DNS to sync with the master?
