BIND DNS replication

I have a RedHat 7.1 box that we use for DNS in our System Engineering lab. We have a Windows 2000 box that handles DNS in our main office. The Microsoft Admin and I have been given the task of making both of our domains accessible to each other. I had originally made his domain my forwarder, so my domain could ping workstations on his domain via hostnames, but his workstations cannot ping my machines via hostnames.

The Microsoft Admin stated that he would not be able to make my domain a forwarder for his(my domain is technically the child), so he suggested that both domains be replication partners for each other. The Microsoft Admin has set up his DNS machine as a replication partner for my server, but I am having problems setting up my RedHat box as a replication partner for his. I do have a copy of A and NS records on my DNS server from the office domain, but I do not know what I need to type into /etc/named.conf. I tried typing in :

zone"mymachine.mydomain.com"{
allow-transfer {x.x.x.x;} ;
};
for my zone and his, but that did nothing. I also tried typing in:

zone "mymachine.mydomain.com" {
type slave;
file "master/mydomain.com";
masters {x.x.x.x;};
};
for both zones, once again, but to no avail. I am using BIND 8.x, which I am not sure supports multimaster replication or just does master-slave replication.

Any help I get will be greatly appreciated, and as always, make all smart a@@ comments funny, so that I may laugh as well!!

zone2ldap

zone2ldap(1)						      General Commands Manual						      zone2ldap(1)

NAME

       zone2ldap /- Load BIND 9 Zone files into LDAP Directory

SYNOPSIS

       zone2ldap  [-D Bind DN] [-w Bind Password] [-b Base DN] [-z Zone] [-f Zone File ] [-h Ldap Host] [-cd] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       zone2ldap  will parse a complete BIND 9 format DNS zone file, and load the contents into an LDAP directory, for use with the LDAP sdb back-
       end.

       If the zone already exists, zone2ldap will exit succesfully. If the zone does not exists, or partially exists, zone2ldap  will  attempt	to
       add all/missing zone data.

   Options
       -b     LDAP  Base DN. LDAP systems require a "base dn", which is generally considered the LDAP Directory root.  If the zone you are loading
	      is different from the base, then you will need to tell zone2ldap what your LDAP base is.

       -v     Print version information, and immediatly exit.

       -f     Zone file.  Bind 9.1 compatible zone file, from which zone information will be read.

       -d     Dump debug information to standard out.

       -w     LDAP Bind password, corresponding the the value of "-b".

       -h     LDAP Directory host. This is the hostname of the LDAP system you wish to store zone information on.  An LDAP server should  be  lis-
	      tening on port 389 of the target system. This may be ommited, and will default to "localhost".

       -c     This will create the zone portion of the DN you are importing. For instance, if you are creating a domain.com zone, zone2ldap should
	      first create "dc=domain,dc=com".	This is useful if you are creating multiple domains.

       -z     This is the name of the zone specified in the SOA record.

EXAMPLES

       Following are brief examples of how to import a zone file into your LDAP DIT.

   Loading zone domain.com, with an LDAP Base DN of dc=domain,dc=com
       zone2ldap -D dc=root -w secret -h localhost -z domain.com -f domain.com.zone

       This will add Resource Records into an ALREADY EXISTING dc=domain,dc=com. The final SOA DN in this case, will be dc=@,dc=domain,dc=com

   Loading customer.com, if your LDAP Base DN is dc=provider,dc=net.
       zone2ldap -D dc=root -w secret -h localhost -z customer.com -b dc=provider,dc=net -f customer.com.zone -c

       This will create dc=customer,dc=com under dc=provider,dc=net, and add all necessary Resource Records. The final root DN to the SOA will	be
       dc=@,dc=customer,dc=com,dc=provider,dc=net.
