Views and two servers

> It does not matter how I configure the secondary it will always get the same
> DB from my primary because it always uses the same source IP to talk to the
> primary. The result is that both the internal and external DB's always end
> up the same.

> configure a totally separate subnet (outside of 172.24.1.0/24) and set the
> secondary named.conf to use the master IP that is on the separate subnet
> thereby making the secondary use the source IP of its own that was also on
> the separate subnet. This then allows the primary to see the secondary as a
> different IP so that the secondary gets replied to with the different
> database.
