Secondary DNS Server

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

I have a primary and secondary DNS server but the secondary server is not
replicating the primary 100%. Everything is correct on the secondary except
I have a subdomain listed on the primary that is not replicating to the
secondary. The records that are listed in the subdomain are being listed in
the root instead. The servers are public DNS servers with no active
directory. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You are saying the child domain is not coming across during a zone transfer?
Check the version number on the Secondary zone to see if it is the same as
the Primary zone after a transfer.

Also, have you tried deleting the Secondary zone, and re-creating it, to see
if the problem still appears? Don't worry about deleting it, since creating
a new one will transfer the zone anyway.

Forgot to add, are there any firewalls between the servers?

There is no firewall between the servers. They both reside on my DMZ.
The version number is different between the primary and secondary for the
forward lookup zone. The reverse lookup zone is the same. Also a second
forward lookup zone is the same.
I have deleted the secondary zone multiple times and I have even replaced it
with a 2003 server to no avail.

How do you have "Allow zone transfers to the following name servers" set?
Since the are in a DMZ you should specifically define the DMZ IP address(es)
of the secondary server.
Chances are, you cannot use "Allow zone transfers to the DNS servers list on
the name server tab" because the NS records do not resolve to the DMZ IP
address the primary sees when the secondary comes looking for a zone
transfer.

I had it set to "To any server". I switched it to "only to the following
servers" and added the internal ip address of the secondary server. I will
let you know if there are any changes. FYI It is set to notify the secondary
server by ip address of any updates also.

Great news. I was being impatient and deleted the zone on the secondary
server and recreated it. Everything flowed over including the child domain.
Thank you for your help.
