Hi All, I've installed both primary and secondary DNS using the 2 following how-to: Installing Bind9: http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p4 Setting up Master & Slave DNS: http://howtoforge.com/debian_bind9_master_slave_system Setting up a split with views: http://howtoforge.com/two_in_one_dns_bind9_views All seems to work fine so far. However, I am not able to see my external zones get transfered to the secondary dns server. I see the internal zones got transfered from primary to secondary but no external zones. A look at my syslog file on both machines revelas: Primary Server: /var/log/syslog Code: Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: starting BIND 9.3.4 -u bind -t /var/lib/named Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: /etc/bind/named.conf:12: when using 'view' statements, all zones must be in views Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: listening on IPv6 interfaces, port 53 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: listening on IPv4 interface venet0:0, 192.168.10.101#53 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: command channel listening on ::1#953 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: loaded serial 2007081701 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone MyDomaninName.com/IN/internal: loaded serial 2007081701 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone 119.20.219.in-addr.arpa/IN/external: loaded serial 2007081701 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone MyDomaninName.com/IN/external: loaded serial 2007081701 Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: running Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone MyDomaninName.com/IN/internal: sending notifies (serial 2007081701) Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone MyDomaninName.com/IN/external: sending notifies (serial 2007081701) Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: sending notifies (serial 2007081701) Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: zone 119.20.219.in-addr.arpa/IN/external: sending notifies (serial 2007081701) Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: client 192.168.1.102#40667: view internal: transfer of 'MyDomaninName.com/IN': AXFR started Aug 17 05:50:48 ns1 named[18357]: client 192.168.1.102#40667: view internal: transfer of 'MyDomaninName.com/IN': AXFR ended Aug 17 05:50:49 ns1 named[18357]: client 192.168.1.102#37504: view internal: transfer of '1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN': AXFR started Aug 17 05:50:49 ns1 named[18357]: client 192.168.1.102#37504: view internal: transfer of '1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN': AXFR ended Aug 17 05:56:07 ns1 named[18357]: client 192.168.1.102#59129: view internal: transfer of 'MyDomaninName.com/IN': AXFR started Aug 17 05:56:07 ns1 named[18357]: client 192.168.1.102#59129: view internal: transfer of 'MyDomaninName.com/IN': AXFR ended Aug 17 06:18:35 ns1 -- MARK -- Secondary Server: /var/log/syslog Code: Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: starting BIND 9.3.4 -u bind -t /var/lib/named Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: /etc/bind/named.conf:12: when using 'view' statements, all zones must be in views Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: listening on IPv6 interfaces, port 53 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: listening on IPv4 interface venet0:0, 192.168.1.2#53 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: command channel listening on ::1#953 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: loaded serial 2007081701 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: zone MyDomainName.com/IN/internal: loaded serial 2007081701 Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: running Aug 17 05:56:06 ns2 named[18423]: zone MyDomainName.com/IN/internal: sending notifies (serial 2007081701) Aug 17 05:56:07 ns2 named[18423]: zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: sending notifies (serial 2007081701) Aug 17 05:56:07 ns2 named[18423]: client 192.168.1.2#32796: view internal: received notify for zone 'MyDomainName.com' Aug 17 05:56:07 ns2 named[18423]: zone MyDomainName.com/IN/internal: refused notify from non-master: 192.168.1.2#32796 Aug 17 05:56:07 ns2 named[18423]: client 192.168.1.2#32796: view internal: received notify for zone '1.168.192.in-addr.arpa' Aug 17 05:56:07 ns2 named[18423]: zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: refused notify from non-master: 192.168.1.2#32796 Aug 17 05:56:07 ns2 named[18423]: zone MyDomainName.com/IN/external: Transfer started.

I think this could be the problem: Apart from that, there's no indication of problems with the external views in the logs...
Falko, thanks for the tip... Any idea/suggestions on how I can fix this? Would this fix be in the named.conf file or zone files. I am not much experience in this area. Any help would be appreciated! Joe
I'd try to replace the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf on the slave with just your master DNS server.
