How to make two DNS servers sync automatically so that both have the same dns records.
I currently have two servers:
Server 1 - >
for hosting wordpress
DNS server ns1.domain.com
Linux running named (Bind)
Server 2 - >
for hosting email
DNS server ns2.domain.com
Windows running Windows DNS server
Current Issues I face:
DNS fails on the first server so it query the second server because they are not replicated
Possible Solutions:
-Solution 1:
Server 2:
Uninstall windows DNS and replace is with Bind.
Make bind act as a slave DNS
Server1:
Setup slave dns manager and transfer all records to the slave dns server 2
Then create A record for NS1 and NS2 on Server 2 and use it as the primary and secondary name server since it will be holding all records.
Solution 2:
Will cost extra cash
Set up server 3 as slave DNS server with ports open for dns quereys and
hide server 1 and server 2 beind the firewall and use them to update server 3 records
use server 3 and NS1 and NS2
for possible upgrade add Server 4 for redundancy and also make it a slave for Server 1 and Server 2
What do you guys think?
