Going to test tomorrow after install, but this is what I am thinking may work
in my example.com, located on main.example.com, /named/db.example.com I am adding main2.example.com. IN A xx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the second server's ip address)
in my example.com, located on main.example.com, /named/db.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa I am adding IN PTR main2.example.com.
In the named.conf, located on main.example.com, I am adding my entire 16 IP block of addresses along with my localhost options { allow-recursion { localhost; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /29;}; allow-query { localhost; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29; }; };
I am assuming this will allow the new server to resolve correctly and allow it to reach out to the net to find domain names (so I can use yum update, ssh to it, etc)...and will use this for the KVM guests to resolve in the future too.
any help appreciated.. centos 6 by the way.
