DNS server loadbalancing and failover
Hi Friends,

I am setting up my new public DNS server using bind 9 on RHEL5.5 64bit.
I also want to have an another DNS failover server on one of my another datacenter. My question is, if i installed an new slave DNS server on the second datacenter and configure the zone transfer, do it will be capable to work as a failover server also?

Regards,
Arumon

If you properly list the slave as a DNS server for the zones, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
