[BlueOnyx:05043] Re: Installing BO/BX Tarball on Xen

[Richard Morgan]

Hi Chris

Thanks for your comments - they're always useful, especially based on your 
experience.

I agree, a whole server just to do secondary DNS is a bit of an overkill and 
just installing BIND seems like a good idea.  However, having an extra 
server lurking in the background is great for extra testing - I've already 
started fiddling with MySQL replication :o)

In summary, this little server will end up doing much more than just DNS.

Thanks for the thought.

Richard
