I'm trying to set up a primary Windows DNS server(2000) and a secondary Linux(Redhat ES 4.0).
The Primary windows has following config
IP-192.168.1.254/24
DNS points to itself
Primary Forward zone- ABC.com
Primary Reverse zone- 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
Allow zone transfers is selected(w/bind secondaries) by servers listed in nameservers tab (the linux server is listed by FQDN) with the notify option enabled(by nameserver tab). Recursion is enabled and a forwarder is enabled. Dynamic updates are also enabled.
Can someone give me an example of a named.conf file that would pull both zones from the windows machine? I also have the network config set up(on the linux machine) as
IP-192.168.1.253/24
Primary DNS- 192.168.1.253
Secondary DNS-192.168.1.254
Search Path- ABC.com
I believe the linux DNS server should also have recursion disabled and a forwarder pointing to the windows machine enabled, right? I'm getting confused with this. Help will be much appreciated.
