So here is a dumb question

[scorpioserve]

Imagine I was using Server Admins’ DNS service to create a Secondary Zone, for the domain name example.com

I click the “Add Zone” button and select “Add Secondary Zone (slave)”
I am asked for a “Secondary Zone Name:” and I enter “example.com”
then I am asked for the “Primary DNS Servers:” IP address so I enter “192.168.1.211”

Is this all I need or do I need to do the exact same thing as above for the PTR record like this.
I click the “Add Zone” button and select “Add Secondary Zone (slave)”
I am asked for a “Secondary Zone Name:” and I enter “1.168.1.211.in-addr.arpa.”
then I am asked for the “Primary DNS Servers:” IP address so I enter “192.168.1.211”

I know this is a dumb question, sorry
😳

Hmmm, is the question so silly that nobody wants to answer it, or is it so silly that nobody has ever asked it and does not really know. I Wonder 💡

I generally avoid the GUI when it comes to configuring BIND, and I don’t believe I’m alone in that practice. What exactly is it you want to accomplish?

I have already configured the DNS server through the use of OS X Servers built in GUI, this is a simple DNS setup so it worked great, now that gave me a primary zone and a reverse zone, what I would like to know is when configuring another system to be a secondary DNS Server for this domain, do I have to configure a secondary for the primary only, or do I also need a secondary for the primary’s reverse record.

Hope I have not worded this too badly, thanks for the help
