 | View Full Version : Dns ...? Dedicated 01-02-2002, 03:14 PM I have 2 servers one Linux and the other Windows can I setup the DNS as follows: Windows ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com Linux ns3.mydomain.com ns4.mydomain.com Thanks in advance. 311 01-02-2002, 04:24 PM yes allan 01-02-2002, 06:33 PM as long as you have 4 IP Addresses cyber_cynic 01-02-2002, 07:40 PM No, well maybe... priyadi 01-03-2002, 04:41 AM Should be no problem at all. cperciva 01-03-2002, 04:47 AM Yes of course you can, but why? Dedicated 01-03-2002, 12:34 PM It did work Originally posted by cperciva Yes of course you can, but why? why? because it took sometimes to propagate so I was wondering if it is not possible. Thanks for the help [:)] palmtree 01-03-2002, 01:56 PM I must also ask why? Why not use the 2 DNS servers on your linux box for everything? raqworld allan 01-03-2002, 01:59 PM well, you should never run primary/secondary DNS on the same box. Really, you should run them on two diverse networks, but if you cannot do that, at least run primary and secondary on two boxes. priyadi 01-03-2002, 02:37 PM Originally posted by Dedicated why? because it took sometimes to propagate so I was wondering if it is not possible. Thanks for the help [:)] Well, that's the nature of DNS :) whether it is running on Linux or Windows, it always take time to propagate records :) bobcares 01-04-2002, 05:26 AM Hi! I guess the why was for why do you want WIndows DNS server. Why not use only linux... :) Have a great day :) regard amar Originally posted by Dedicated It did work why? because it took sometimes to propagate so I was wondering if it is not possible. Thanks for the help [:)] palmtree 01-04-2002, 03:13 PM Thats kinda what I was getting at also, but figured if you have only 2 servers with different OS's, then you would have to use what you've got.. laterz, raqworld cyber_cynic 01-06-2002, 12:45 PM You guys are all missing the point. If you want to run a nameserver, make sure you at least read the RFCs for nameservers. From this thread it appears that most don't have a clue about RFCs or are just not interested in following established guidelines. Just because something is possible, does not mean it should be done.

Most people on here are much more interested in pragmatical application of standards than what the standards themselves state. Be it good or bad, I don't think it's going to change. priyadi 01-06-2002, 08:35 PM Originally posted by cyber_cynic You guys are all missing the point.

A person asked something and we answered based on our experience. Is that wrong? The question has nothing to do with RFC or other standard, and all the answers doesn't seem to violate that. And yes, I have read RFCs about DNS. |
