secondary server install

[Bill Friedman]

This is my first BIND install....a few questions.

1. Is it okay to run different versions of BIND on master and slave 
servers, e.g. 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 respectively? I'd just as soon not upgrade 
the existing server if not necessary.

I've built and installed 9.2.2 on the secondary, an RH7 box. 
 Interestingly, no init script or named.conf file was installed so I 
just copied from existing master server and created hard link from 
/usr/local/sbin installed files to /usr/sbin which is what init script 
looks into.

I also copied the zone db files from the existing server.

 From what I've read so far, in this doc, 
http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/DNS-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.6, it appears I 
only need to alter the named.conf as follows.  I substituted slave for 
master wherever it appears in named.conf, and added the master servers 
ip address to the allow-transfer list.  The other ip addresses are the 
isps nservers.

for example.
 
.....

zone "mydomain.com" in {
        type slave;
        file "db.mydomain";
        notify no;
        allow-transfer {
                192.168.0.5;
                206.228.179.10;
                144.228.254.10;
                144.228.255.10;
        };
};

...except for the loopback address

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "db.127.0.0";
};

Is that all there is to it?  What sort of logging entries am I looking 
for to make sure the replication works?

I'm not averse to reading docs, but, will take any hints I can get.

thanks
