I am using multi server setup because i have two servers. Server 1 is ns1.control8.com. The second is ns2.control8.com. I beleive I have them setup correctly as I pass the dns tests on dnsreports.com. (http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=control8.com) - :-)

I have a site called www.doitwithjoomla.com. Registered on ns1.control8.com, but its zone does not show up on ns2.control8.com. I may have created this site before I setup the multi-server. Does that matter?

Also do I need to log into the second server and configure the multi-server to point back to the first server or is this a one-way setting?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, you need to add it after you setup muti-server. You can now update your second server with a simple re-write from the sending server like so:

echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

You only need to setup the second server to point to the first if you want any zones added to the second to appear on the first server, which I assume you would. Plus this also gives you the feature that you cannot add the same domain to both servers by accident.

Hope this helps,

running that command will add to the zone list, not overwrite it. Correct? I have existing sites on both servers.

is that a feature or a bug? When moving domains from one server to another we like to have it fully set up on the second server before we remove it from the first.

If you need to be able to do that, look at the Master2Slave solution (search these forums).

after installing FreeBSD 6.1 alfaa and so on this was to easy, but was litte squared not to blow away 200 names from old server...

How to do this?

If I type this in my ssh, nothing happend:
marx:~# echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
 
how to tranfer zones with changed mx records with multi server

I used this code to tranfer the existing zones from server1 to server 2:

echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
Click to expand...

However I experienced that domainzones from which the MX records were changed, did not tranfer to server2.
