<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I agree with you; it's not difficult but it's one
more place that automation could kick in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Solarspeed have a script for importing secondary
DNS records and another for clearing all DNS data. I once fiddled
with these to see if I could get a command line script to delete all DNS,
download a text file of IP address and domain names from the primary and use it
to build the secondary DNS.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I didn't get very far because one of the machines
used was a production system and I feared breaking it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I still think the idea has merit, if you want to
take on a challenge :o)</FONT></DIV>

?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>LOL, its not difficult. The hosting customer does
not have access to the second box and it's one of those petty little
maintenance tasks that could be automated and eliminated. I thought
perhaps someone on this list had already done so but maybe I am the first to
consider it. We have also had the case of someone mistyping the domain
name on the secondary DNS service. <BR><BR>Thanks Jeff

question was, is there such a script available that someone has already
created to automate the creation of the secondary records based on those from
the primary - OR - what are the ramifications of simply running two primary
DNS servers by just FTP'ing over the zone files when a change is detected on
the first primary DNS server? <BR>> <BR>> What is so difficult about
adding a domain name and IP into the secondary dns service on the second box?
It isn't like you have to recreate all the dns records... The complete zone
file is transferred to the secondary dns server (as long as you have given
permission to the IP address in the primary server). <BR>> <BR>>
