secondary dns

[kylebuttress]

Hi,
Is it possible to set the primary and a slave dns on the same server, with different ip's

If it is how would I go about that and what files would I need to create and or alter?

thanks

Yes, but you only have 1 dns zone, being the master zone, you don't have a seperate zone for each name server and have them setup master/slaves - you only have 1 master zone.

domain.com dns zone

/var/named/domain.com.db

domain.com. IN NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com. IN NS ns2.domain.com.

ns1 IN A 123.123.123.123
ns2 IN A 123.123.123.124

Then register the name servers ns1 + ns2 domain.com

so the setup is remains the same and the NS records are added to the domain.com.db to reflect the new nameserver ip.

sounds almost to simple.

thanks

Indeed, dns is mostly pretty simple, if you keep it that way.
