Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I try to set up a secondary dns server (slave) in a production environment.=
 I am not deeply skilled about dns, I found out that there is to do more th=
an just copying
the files from the primary. But, I think my problem occurs earlier:

Well I installed (and copied the dll - files by hand to system32 ;-) the is=
c bind. The service is installed, but I can=B4t start it.
System: Windows 2000 SP 4.
Bind 9.2.1


Here is the eventlog about bind:

The named.conf is 15 kb in size, the rndc.conf and named.conf are correct i=
n the rndc-key - secret.

As I mentioned earlier, we changed the settings in the named.conf from mast=
er to slave (with masters =3D ...) for all but the "." (hint), "0.0.1.127" =
(master) and "localhost" (master) zones.

What is wrong: when I start the service there are the above error(s). There=
 is no entry in the system32\drivers\etc\services (but there is none in the=
 primary, also).
I guess, there must something be wrong in the options part, but not sure. H=
ere is the option-part of named.conf, I replaced the IP-Adress with IP_ADRE=
SSE_PRIMARY and XXXX for some others (which are in fact commented out, so t=
his has no impact):

options {
      version "DNS Server";

        directory "D:\bind\etc";
        pid-file "D:\bind\var\named.pid";

        statistics-file "D:\bind\var\named.stats";
#       memstatistics-file "D:\bind\var\named.memstats";
        dump-file "D:\bind\var\named.dump";

#     datasize 64M;
#     stacksize 64M;

        zone-statistics yes;
#     statistics-interval 1440;

        auth-nxdomain yes;
#       check-names response warn;                    /* default: check-nam=
es master warn; */

        listen-on port 53 { IP_ADRESSE_PRIMARY; };

        query-source address IP_ADRESSE_PRIMARY port 53000;

        notify no;

        transfer-format many-answers;

        max-transfer-time-in 60;

        interface-interval 0;

        recursion yes;

#     forwarders {  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX };
#     forward only;

        allow-transfer {
                xfer_clients_intern;
        };

        allow-query {
               query_clients_intern;
        };

      allow-recursion {
               query_clients_intern;
        };
};

If you might help me I would be very happy ! Please send a copy of your pos=
ting to me directly: michael.oberlaender at suedzucker.de
If there are some other hints which problems I could spare next after fixin=
g this issue to get the secondary on the run, please let me know.

Thank you VERY much in advance.
Best regards and "hang on"

Michael
