NSD as secondary nameserver

warning

make sure you declare both servers as NS –and– also provide glue records for those

setup – primary

see nsd then also prepare the secret for the sync

assuming you already generated a secret for sending/receiving updates

setup – secondary

cd /etc/nsd/
vi nsd.conf

server:
(same as primary)

remote-control:
(same but points to local keys)

key:
(same as primary - yes both nodes need to share that secret)

pattern:
        name: "primary"
        allow-notify: PRIMARY-IP sync
        request-xfr: AXFR PRIMARY-IP sync

zone:
    ...
    include-pattern: "primary"

## acceptance

make a dummy change on the primary and watch the logs

_on both sides_

    tail -F /var/log/syslog

_on the primary_

; sync test pouet IN A 1.2.3.4 ```

nsd-control reload $zone
