Set up slave DNS
K
server B needs to be master for domainB.com and all subdomains of
domainB.com. New subdomains of domainB.com are created once every couple of
days (or whenever someone signs up for hosting under it).
Now the thing is, how do I let these 2 DNS servers sync up with each other?
I've looked around the net for Bind docs on how to set up a slave dns server
that performs zone transfers of all the primary DNS server's zone files.
Can someone help me with the exact directive needed?

Hi K,
Just set up server B as an ordinary slave for domainA.com and server A
as a slave for domainB.com:
// on server A
zone "domainb.com" {
type slave;
masters { ip.of.server.b; };
file "domainb.com.db";
};
// on server B
zone "domaina.com" {
type slave;
masters { ip.of.server.a; };
file "domaina.com.db";
};

Is the problem that you want Server A to be a slave to Server B for all of
domainB.com's subdomains, where each domainB.com subdomain is a seperate
zone file? If so, then you'll need some other method (outside of BIND) to
generate the zone statements for your named.conf on the slave (Server A).

Shure :
$ssh A
$vi /etc/named.conf
$rndc reload
$exit
repeat as nessecary.

Sorry about my e-mail address, but i'm trying to keep spam out.
Remove "icke-reklam" and it works.

You do not need a zone file for your subdomains.
Just put all the records in the zone file for domainb.com
It will sync up okay.

over to the slave must be one that many people need. I'd like some sort of
automated script that'll do this for me. Are there such scripts around?

replace the "master" statements with "slave" statements for the slave's
named.conf file? I'm sure lots of admins have the need for such a script so
I'm hoping one already exists out there.
