The question becomes how long are you planning for the master to be off line? If you are just worried about stale zones you just need to increase your expire time so they don't expire. Only time I would promote a slave to master is if the master is going to be down for an extended period of time or I need to update DNS record while the master is off-line. -- Regards Robert Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
