Allright, i've this:

1. [DA-SERVER] = ns3.domain.nl
2. [WIN-SERVER] = ns2.domain.nl
3. [PRI-DNS-SERVER] = ns0.domain.nl
4. [SEC-DNS-SERVER] = ns1.domain.nl

Now I do this:

When I register a domain that's hosted on [DA-SERVER], I give: ns3.domain.nl & ns0.domain.nl

When i register a domain that's hosted on [WIN-SERVER], I give: ns2.domain.nl & ns0.domain.nl

But that isn't skilful. I want to use _always_ ns0.domain.nl & ns1.domain.nl

When I give on the [DA-SERVER]

Nameserver 1 : ns0.domain.nl
Nameserver 2: ns1.domain.nl

I doesn't work! It just don't AXFR to my slave server.

When I give on the [DA-SERVER]

Nameserver 1 : ns3.domain.nl
Nameserver 2: ns1.domain.nl OR ns0.domain.nl

It's working!

So i NEED to give ns3.domain.nl as namserver 1.

Is it possible to use ns0/ns1.domain.nl so I can use just 2 nameservers? In spite of how many servers I have!

I hope you get what I mean and that you can help me.
 
Hello,

I'm not too clear on the problem, but as long as you have the dns records on each nameserver, it shouldn't matter where/what they are.

I'm not farmiliar with AXFR, so I can't say why it isn't working.

I don't have time to write a proper reply now; I'd strongly suggest that you read one of the DNS books (DNS and Bind, O'Reilly comes to mind).

This isn't really a DA-specific question; you might want to ask the question on the bind-users list.

The weird thing is this:

When i do ns1.nsserver.nl as master, it doesnt'AXFR to the slave.

When i do ns2.nsserve.rnl as master, it DOES AXFR to the slave...

the slave = PDNS
the other slave = BIND, where i always work.

Where can i find the log file of bind on the DA machine? I couldn't find it
 
The location of the log file may be OS-dependent.

Using RHL, bind logs to /var/log/messages.
