I just want to make sure that I configured my secondary DNS in the right
way:
The DNS was running as cache only, so,
1. I commented the following:
# Name Server Cache Demon
#if [ -x /usr/sbin/nscd ]; then
# /usr/sbin/nscd -q
#fi
in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file
2. I changed my /etc/named.boot so it became the following:
;
; a secondary nameserver config for mydomain.com domain
;
directory /var/named
secondary mydomain.com 209.227.161.97 named.mydomain cache
. named.ca
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa named.local
3. I rebooted the server
4. I tried nslookup, it worked:
#nslookup www.yahoo.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer: ...
....
So, everything seems OK, but the /var/named/named.mydomain zone file is not
beeing updated! It has been more that 12 hours and nothing's happening.
So, it seems that the server is still running as a cache only DNS! Is the
configuration complete? Is there something else I should do to make the DNS
run as secondary?
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Nathalie
