Thank you very much. If I understan correctly, if we update the DNS zone in master server, it will get notify to slave as well and slave will update the DNS zone files locally. It will use it for load balancing ? If the master goes down, what will happen?
Also, how does slave zone fiels get update? Do we need to do set up a cron job or anything or bind has any feature to update SLAVe zones?
