DNS weirdness

[Darcy Kevin (FCA)]

This nameserver is forwarding to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Are those valid and working?

Also, a bunch of your tunables are set really low -- particularly, recursive-clients set to 100. This won't suffice for a busy server.

Help needed.

This morning my primary DNS server locked.

No worries, the backup will kick in.

Wrong

!!

The Secondary DNS server cannot resolve properly unless the 'real' primary is working.

All right, why is the secondary server behaving this way?

Satrt of secondary DNS server named.conf file

//Use with the following in named.conf, adjusting the allow list as needed:
key "rndc-key" {
      algorithm hmac-md5;
      secret "7ZbGK94NdSa2WACxx72W1w=="; };

controls {
      inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
              allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; }; };




// generated by named-bootconf.pl
