We have a master DNS server that is running on windoze and it shuts down
at least once a day. We want to make one of our SLES10 SP1 servers a
backup/slave DNS so when the crappy primary DNS goes down, name
resolution still works using the SLES10 SP1 DNS. So, i go into yast->DNS
server and at the first screen i am asked about forwarders. I don't
believe we are using forwarders on the primary so i did not enter any
here. At the 2nd screen, add new zone, i enter in the same zone name as
is in the primary DNS server (right?) and under type, make it "slave".
Click add. Then i click next, firewall is disabled and start-up
behaviour is on: start now and when booting. The box under that says
forwarders: <blank> and domains:,localhost,0.0.127.in-addr.arpa, <domain
name from primary DNS>. I click finish and encounter this error:
error occurred when srating service named
error: shutting down name server BIND- Warning named not running!. Done
Starting name server BIND
And the only clickable option is OK. I click OK and encounter another
dialog box saying "saving the configuration failed. Change the settings?
with "yes" and "no" as clickable options. I click yes and it takes me
back to the initial setup of the DNS server. I click no and the config
goes away. I start it back up (dns server in yast) and see that the dns
server is not running. click on start dns server now and nothing
happens. Named is running according to runlevel: Services. I don't see
bind in that list. A rpm -qa bind says bind-9.3.4-1.16.
All i want to do is configure a back-up or slave DNS. How do you do this?
