Help setting up a secondary authoritative DNS server.
- by GLB03
We have three Authoritative DNS servers and three recursive/caching DNS servers on my campus.
Authoritative servers
DNS1- Windows 2003
DNS2- Old Red Hat ----- Replacing w/ newer version
DNS3- Windows 2008 (I installed)
Caching and Recursive resolvers servers
Server1- Windows 2003
Server2- CentOS 5.2 (I installed)
Server3- CentOS 5.3 (I installed)
I am replacing DNS2 with a newer Red Hat version, but have no documentation on how it was implemented. I have setup caching and windows authoritative servers, but not a linux secondary authoritative server. I have a perl script from the original server that pulls data from our DNS1 server. We use DJBDNS and TinyDNS on our linux servers. Our Network Engineer says the DNS2 server I am replacing is an authoritative server that doesn't need to be caching, but the only instructions I see is for an Authoritative server that does caching as well. Can someone point me in the right directions. I thought I was on the right track with using these instructions but when I query my new dns server I get "No response from server", I have temporarily disabled iptables to eliminate it from being an issue.
