The only replication that will take place, I assume, is if a zone changes on the master server and needs to be copied to the slave servers. If you change a zone on the BIND master and do not transfer the zone to the W2K3 slave server, then clients who use that W2K3 server as their primary DNS resolver will be accessing zone files that are not up-to-date. And this is not what you want. What is the frequency of replications (how many per hour)? I assume that most of the replications will be IXFR (incremental zone transfers) and not full zone transfers), so the entire zone will not be transferred every time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.
