how can I verify my secondary dns is just that ?
my co-location runs my secondary, well, is supposed to run my secondary.
is this the correct way to check it:
dig @secondarydns.com.au domain.tld ?
Ask for the SOA record
dig soa domain.tld @secondarydns.com.au
It should give you the same information as you get when you ask your
master, including the TTL part of the record.
If there are any discrepancies, something is b0rked.
Now ask for the SOA again (at least a few seconds after the previous
request).
If it gives you a different TTL when you ask again, it's giving you a
cached answer rather than an authoritative one.
