Hi Chris<br />
<br />
I was just googling on the net.<br />
In the SOA Tab, the Expiry was set to 1 minute.<br />
I just changed that to 1 hour. (I think this is recommended) &nbsp;right !!???<br />
Please advise...<br />
<br />

Depends on how you're using it. I'll happily use anything from 1 hour to a month. If it's more important to maintain access to the zone I'd set the value to least 8 hours.<br />

Hi Experts <br />
<br />
My Event Viewer / DNS Server Log keeps saying :<br />
Source: &nbsp;DNS<br />
Event ID: 6527<br />
Zone xxx.com has expired before it could obtain a successful zone transfer or update from a master server acting as its source for the zone. The zone has been shut down.<br />
<br />
But zone transfers from Primary to Secondary are happening fine.<br />
Then why do i get the above error message???. &nbsp; :-(<br />
Pls help.<br />
<br />
Thanks &amp;&nbsp;Regards<br />

DNS Zone Tranfer

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
