Trying to understand how zone transfers work<br />
<br />
If there are 2 servers which are also DCs and host a AD integrated zone (server 1 and 2).<br />
<br />
Then need to make 2 additional servers (3 and 4) host secondary zones <br />
<br />
If server 1 is the master server for the zone transfers, which should update the appropriate servers of any change only if there is a change<br />
<br />
I'm not grasping DNS so forgive me but..<br />
<br />
1) Why would Server 2 NOT be included in the 'Notify' box?<br />
<br />
2) I've been told as it hosts the zone, but what is there is a change. Doesn't this server need to know?<br />
<br />
3) Why can't servers that host the zone be notified of changes?<br />
<br />
4) Also been told server 2 may be &nbsp;the named servers tab, but once again...doesn't this server (server 2) need to know of any change?

Zone transfers

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.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
