Secondary DNS not working
hi guys

I am doing some testing for DNS
I got a master DNS(192.168.2.10) and I setup a slave DNS(192.168.2.11) but when I shutdown the Master DNS my linux client cannot resolve using the slave
any idea way?
This is the named.conf
Code:
options
{
    query-source    port 53;   
    directory "/var/named";
    dump-file         "data/cache_dump.db";
    statistics-file     "data/named_stats.txt";
    memstatistics-file     "data/named_mem_stats.txt";
    listen-on { 192.168.2.10; 127.0.0.1; };
};

logging
{
        channel default_debug {
                file "data/named.run";
                severity dynamic;
        };   
};

view "internal"
{
    match-clients        { localnets; };
    match-destinations    { localnets; };
    recursion yes;

    zone "training.com" {
        type master;
        notify yes;
        allow-query { any; };
        file "data/training.com.db";
    };

    zone "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        notify yes;
        allow-query { any; };
        file "data/2.168.192.zone.db";
        };
   
    zone "." {
    type hint;
    file "data/named.ca";
    };
};

Data files

Code:
training.com.db
$TTL    86400
@       IN      SOA     masterdns.training.com root.training.com. ( 
                        2009111914 ; Serial number needs to be increase when zone changes
                        28800      ; Refresh
                        14400      ; Retry
                        3600000    ; Expire
                        86400 )    ; Minimum
                IN       NS  masterdns.training.com.
                IN       A   192.168.2.10 ; 
masterdns       IN       A   192.168.2.10 ; 
secondarydns    IN       A   192.168.2.11 ;
www             IN       A   192.168.2.10 ;

                                      14400      ; Retry
                                      3600000    ; Expire
                                      86400 )    ; Minimum
          IN    NS    masterdns.training.com.
10        IN    PTR   training.com. ;
10        IN    PTR   masterdns ;
11        IN    PTR   secondarydns ;

Slave DNS
Zone Configuration
Code:
zone "training.com" {
        type slave;
        notify yes;
        allow-query { any; };
        file "data/sec.training.com.db";
        masters { 192.168.2.10; };
    };

    zone "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type slave;
        notify yes;
        allow-query { any; };
        file "data/sec.2.168.192.zone.db";
        masters { 192.168.2.10; };

any idea?

thanks a lot

please post contents of /etc/resolv.conf. ensure that both servers are listed in there.

yes both are listed

so that means my conf above looks OK?

Did you check the slave to insure it was caching the master data correctly?

please confirm that your using the same named.conf configuration except for the zone configuration.

does this query work while both nameservers are online?

Code:
dig +trace @192.168.2.11 unix.com a
