I haven't experienced or even heard of this issue, but I would think it would be non-RFC compliant behavior on Microsoft's part (that is to say, a bug.)
In any case, Microsoft went quite a long ways toward making Windows 2000 DNS (and windows 2000 in general) more compliant with internet RFC standards. I doubt the bug exists there. -----Original Message----- From: Byron Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 3:30 PM Posted To: Windows 2000 List Conversation: OT: Real World DNS Subject: RE: OT: Real World DNS Interesting Ryan, I'd always thought that as well. However, in the past I've actually seen examples of nt 4.0 dns expiring the content after the expire time defined in the soa record for a zone, when the primary was down for a period of time and the secondary couldn't reach it. Have you seen this. I don't recall ever seeing this issue with 2000 dns though. Joshua, if you decide on hosting your own pick up a copy of O'Reilly's Windows 2000 DNS. Also look for resources on Cricket's site - http://www.menandmice.com This stuff should get you rockin. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Malayter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 12:21 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: OT: Real World DNS Indefinitely. A secondary is not a caching server, it actually holds a whole copy of the primary zone which it updates periodically. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 2:20 PM Posted To: Windows 2000 List Conversation: OT: Real World DNS Subject: RE: OT: Real World DNS What if you primary goes down? How long does the secondary cache the primaries info?

One is primary and the other secondary. The secondary DNS looks at the primary DNS for any changes and updates itself. Been doing this for years without any problems. If you have a separate zone, you have to update both DNS servers.
