Mirroring DNS from a non-cpanel server (djbdns)

[DN-Paul]

Hello,
A friend of mine wants me to mirror the DNS records for one of his domains, however, he runs djbdns on his freebsd box, so how can I mirror the single zone for that domain (and all records in it) from his server onto mine (a cpanel/bind server).

Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to these forums. I recently mirrored my CPanel server zones to three bind systems. It is simple to do with bind.

On CPanel, edit this file:

/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

You want to set his zone as a slave on your CPanel server.

zone "domain.com" {
type slave;
file "slaves/domain.com";
masters {
10.10.10.1;
};
};

Replace 10.10.10.1 with his name server IP and domain.com with the correct zone.

On his server, he has to allow access to your CPanel source IP. On bind, this is called allow-transfer and should be fairly similar on his system.

He should add your CPanel DNS IP as one of his NS records for that zone on his name server so that when the serial is updated, the zone update is sent to the appropriate systems.

Then `rndc reload` on CPanel and the zone transfer should begin.
