The consensous was that I need to set up a secondary server. Then by adding a
line into the resolv.conf file for the secondary server I'll be ok if the
primary goes down.
Thanks again.
My original request:
I have a domain with several production machines on it and the customer gets
very upset when the one little SPARC10 running DNS servicing for this domain
goes down. They have asked if there is any way another machine could act as
another source for the domains DNS data so that the odds on being without a
DNS server for the domain a decreased.
If anyone has set this up or knows why or why not to set it up please let me
know.
I will summarize.
Given:
