I would suggest placing one on each site. That way you can cut the traffic between sites for DNS lookups. I would also ensure that only one does the updates per domain.
That makes sense and is essentially what I was planning to do.
The reason I asked is you should not have a shared domain that can be updated by more then one master. You risk losing data or valid data being over written.
Again makes sense. So my idea of setting up the two sites as two domains would then be the logical extension of this.
Been there and done that. I now have a book shelf where I keep all my books and manuals.
Well.... I already have four book shelves, two four-drawer filing cabinets, two large desks, work table and about a dozen storage boxes. Of course lets not forget about the 5 PC waiting to prep, 3-4 that have been pulled from service but are still functional, another bunch that I have scavenging for spare parts, actual new spare parts, tools, a bunch if shipping boxes the are really should break down and put in the recycling bins. Just think of me as a packrat with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
The book is here somewhere but I am just not sure where. I guess it is time for spring cleaning.
If you are worried about valid config then you should be using the tools that come with Bind instead of relying on some third party software.
named-checkconf for checking the configuration of Bind named-checkzone for checking the zone file.
There are man pages for both that explain how to use them.
I will check those out but what about the ease of use factor. Would you suggest something like webmin over had tailoring the config files?
TIA
