Using Windows 2003 Domain and Active Directory
Small network 11 servers, 40 users.
I have One DNS server that is installed on one of my Name Servers (primary).
I have since created a second server and installed DNS on that server. This
server will not be a name server.
I want to create a second DNS server for my domain so that if #1 is down for
reboot or something the other server is still available.
Here is what I already tried...
1) Added a New Zone to the newdns-server - made it a secondary zone that
will would receive forward lookup. I added the IP of the primary DNS server
to that configuraton.
The replication did not take place - as the master refused to connect.
On the Main DNS server
2) I tried to change the properties of the Forward lookup zone xyz.com for
Zone Transfers. I made the setting to allow zone transfers to servers listed
below. i entered the IP of the new server (newdns-server) it resolved the
name, but then shows failed to validate.
3) If I hit apply and then close the properties - then open the properties
the Zone IP is reset to 1.0.0.0 and it is trying to connect.
I figure I am missing soemthing simple (I hope).
Please advise.
