have 2 win nt boxes set up as dns servers. when set up, they were both set up as primarys. the one I want to change is really a workstation, with no network traffic running through it. What is the CORRECT way to make this change. Should I simply make the changes to the zone (on the server I want to change) through the properties tab, or would it be more expedient to just delete the server files all together and start anew. Am doing everything through the gui, would it be better to dig up the files. also, on the remaining primary, do i simply set up a new zone and make it a secondary? any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
