Hi All:
I am looking for some possible recommendations on the handling of our internal DNS services. First some background...
Until recently our entire network was located within a single facility with internal DNS services provided by our CentOS 4.7 (using BIND). While I had problems with DHCP/DNS communications it was basically working.
At the beginning of the month we moved the production servers (a couple of RHEL5.3 boxes with a Windows 2008 server) to a new facility connected to the old facility via a VPN. We are still running with our DevSys as the DNS server but I would like to make the two locations at least partially independent. I have been doing some research (probably enough to be really dangerous to myself<g>) and it looks like I need to setup a master/slave setup.
Here are my questions...
1. Is the BIND master/slave the appropriate approach?
2. Can I have each subnet be a master for itself and a slave for the other subnet?
3. Any pointers to applicable docs/examples?
4. Can you recommend a "front end" for BIND (we have webmin installed but I have yet to start working with it)?
Any and all thoughts, suggestions, criticisms gladly accepted.
TIA
Regards, Hugh
