If you are running primary DNS on a RAQ and using some other server for secondary (RAQ or white box), this question is for you.
I am currently running Pri and Sec DNS on my RAQ3. I am looking at moving my secondary to a different box. I'm not exactly sure how that will work.
Do I just setup the DNS records identically on both boxes and then if Primary server dies, the secondary just takes over?
Do I need do anything different on the primary box? i.e. SOA record for the domain pointing to the secondary box. Adding a "Secondary Name Service for Domain" record?
Sorry if this is a basic question, this stuff is always a little confusing and I want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks!
