DNS Slave Problems

Hi,

I am setting up 2 Xserves, both running 10.3.7.

Server1: 192.168.1.1; DHCP; DNS (Master); AFP; NetBoot; LDAP (Master)
Server2: 192.168.1.2; DNS (Slave); AFP; LDAP (Replica); Users Home Directory (connected to an XServe RAID)

I managed to get everything running; except for the Slave DNS.

My settings:

DNS Master (192.168.1.1):
I have these zones:
1) localhost (default)
2) 0.0.127.in-addr-arpa (default)
3) <mydomain.com.> of type ‘Master’ (with the first ‘NS’ record from <mydomain.com.> To <ns1.mydomain.com.>, and several ‘A’ records including one for <ns2> To 192.168.1.2)
4) 1.168.192-in-addr-arpa (created automatically)

DNS Slave (192.168.1.2):
I have one zone:
1) <mydomain.com.> of type ‘slave’, and 192.168.1.1 for ‘Master servers…’

I also allowed "Zone Transfers" and "Recursion" on both servers.

If I use 192.168.1.1 as the DNS server on a machine on the network, it works fine. In Netwrok Utility, I can lookup (and reverse) for ns1=192.168.1.1 and ns2=192.168.1.2

If I use 192.168.1.2 as the DNS server, when I do a lookup for <ns1> I can get 192.168.1.1; but If I do a lookup for 192.168.1.1, I get "**server can’t find 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:NXDOMAIN". If I do an external name (such as <www.apple.com>), then it works both ways. It looks like only the internal names that are not resolved.

I have a feeling it’s the settings in DNS (slave) but can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Also, when the slave DNS is setup correctly, does it ‘keep’ a copy of the Zones and Records locally (i.e. will it be able to function on its own if the DNS Master is down)?

Many thanks
Victor
