The easiest way to find that out is to google.
The long answer is in the conf file on the slave server stick:
zone "example.com" IN {
type slave;
file "/var/cache/bind/slave/example.com";
masters { 55.55.55.55 };
};
for each each zone mirrored and in the master put:
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
notify yes; // This line in each of your master zones
file "/var/cache/bind/pri/localhost";
};
and make sure you list the slave as one of the authoritative servers in
the zone file for your domain:
NS ns1.example.com.
NS ns2.example.com.
