Automatic Update to slave dns Server - howto?

[bluntbill]

Hello.

I don't know if there's a way of doing what I want.

I've searched the net and this forum for help, but haven't found what I was looking for...

The problem is this: when I had a new domain to my master server, and set the IP of the slave server, is there a way of auto-populating the dns record on the slave server? without having to manually insert in the slave server the record for that domain?
If there is a solution to this, please tell me where to find it...

Thank you

I guess a little bit of clearing up is needed, at least for me. Are you referring to a Windows 2003 DNS server? If its BIND I cannot help, but if you ARE talking Windows then I think you are going to want something along the lines of a standard/AD integrated primary zone file and on your second server setting up a secondary zone of the same name and having your primary do zone transfers to the secondary. I can help you more if this is what you are going for. Let us know

well what I need is for bind...

After posting this I searched again and found something, but no totally what I want. I found a perl script that you pass some arguments to, and it creates the files necessary for the master and the slave server. But after that, I need to put them on the server...

I wanted something completely automatic...When I create a zone file for a domain in the master, It should inform the slave of the new zone, so the slave would create the file saying that the master has authority over that domain...

Don't know if it is clearer...

God, sorry mate, came of as brash. I thought Unix had been specified in this thread as well, realized to late that it wasnt and I had my mind buried in a different one. Sorry again.
