Configuring DNS Secondary DNS (Slave) Servers
Greetings,
When setting up the DNS Server do I need to configure a slave server? And if not can I just comment out the lines in the config file which refer to the secondary slave? I have a very small system and a slave server wouldn't benefit me. Running CentOS 7.x Thanks |
What are you using the DNS server for?
According to the RFCs, a domain must have at least two, and preferably three authoritative name servers on different subsets. Slave servers are a way to have “single point of maintenance” to maintain that replication. Does a given name server have to have a slave? No. Will commenting out those lines in the config file work? Try it and see. (I think it will, but I don’t know for sure) |
Thanks, I'm going to give it a try by commenting out the reference to 'slave'. Will advise.
