Port direction for zone transfer (not AD integrated)
Hi guys,
I need to forward a zone from DNS Server 1 to DNS Server 2 located in different network segments.
Can you help me to clarify what port it requires (I believe TCP 53) and what direction ? Is it the destination server (DNS Server 2) contacting the DNS Server 1 or the other way round ? or is it bi-directional ?
so it would suffice to open only one way from the forwarded server up to the forwarding server, right ? I'm not talking about UDP port, as naming resolution is then done by the receiving server, which is in the same network as its DNS clients.
Thanks.

You will want a bidirectional rule on UDP/53 and TCP/53 for pull and notify requests if you are using notify, which you should if you want updates propagating in a timely fashion. Do you have some security concern about a point to point firewall rule being a risk?
