    Default Secondary DNS

    Heya

    Im hosting a few domains with my dns server as master, and now a friend asked me if i could be his slave dns server. But how? I've searched thru WHM but i havent figured out how to configure it to be a slave dnsserver for one domain and master for the others.

    Can someone tell me how to do this?

    I hope you understand what i mean, my english isnt the best

    Thanks in advance

    You would have to do that manually by adding a slave zone to your named.conf file. Read up on master/slave DNS configurations using BIND on the net.

    Okay, thank you.

    I've read a few doc's now, and i think it should look like this,

    zone "domain.org" IN {
    type slave;
    file "/var/named/domain.org.db";
    masters { 0.0.0.0; };
    };


    0.0.0.0 = ip-to-the.master-dns-server

    Can you just tell me if im right or wrong?
