Hi,
If I was to use 2 servers both running Zervex ServerCP how could I have the DNS data syncronize with each other when I had a new zone? That is if I had ns1 on server 1 and ns2 on server 2.

Thank you

rsync is what you want to look at.

But having that setup wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion, id look into a small VPS and load powered DNS on it set up some Web GUI or use server 1 as the NS1/2 just add all the DNS records and point it too server2 when needed.

Thanks for that.

What I am after is getting ns1 & ns2 on separate servers.

I want the slave ns2 to copy the zone files from the master.

A mechanism called zone-transfer is used to copy the data.
The zone transfer is controlled by your SOA record.

I wnt to know if there is an easy way of doing this with Zervex or if I need to manually edit files.

If there is not this function then maybe it could be added to the feature request.

Thanks.

Tony

Have to go manually to do that.

I'm sure the developers here have something in mind for that.
