DNS cluster

[Stelios A.]

Hi Stephane,

Now it makes sence. So my best is to have the ns1 (master) in a raid 5
machine  (not many chances to go down - better uptime)and the ns2 set up
as a secondary/slave in a second box with lower specs.
Just to be sure...if I don't have synchronize all the records in the
secondary/slave dns then when the raid 5 server goes down the dns queries
will be forwarded automatic to the secondary dns, right?
Also all the times the queries will be only in the ns1 unless ofcourse
goes down. Right?

Thanks a lot

PS: I'm going in France for climbing next month :)
