Secondary DNS server not serving requests

[Pavan]

Hello All,

We have a Primary and Secondary DNS servers that serve multiple zones.
Both the servers are Win2000 and are patched-up with latest updates. The
problem we are facing is, if the Primary server goes down the secondary
server is able to server requests until a reboot. When the Secondary comes
back online it is looking for a Zone file on the primary server, since the
primary is already down it is not able to find the zone file and fails to
serve any DNS requests.

Is there a way around this? May be Win2003 can handle this situation
well....................


Any comments or thoughts...............................



Thanks,

Hello All,

Figured it out ...........

On the secondary server there was no file name in the Zone properties,
placed a named and everything works fine now.

Thanks Guys for your help
