Secondary DNS

If you already have your own primary DNS server, or would like to host your own DNS server but only have one physical server, then Secondary DNS will allow you to do just that.

As part of this setup, please ensure that:

  1. Your name server has been registered as a host at it's respective registry, as well as the registry relating to the domain you wish to assign the new name server to. These actions can be taken for domains registered at Webnames See also: Create or Manage Name Servers
  2. Ensure that your name server can be resolved via public DNS. This involves creating NS and A records for the host within it's own zone file.
  3. Ensure that you have configured your firewalls, servers and software to allow AXFR zone file transfers to the following IP address: 209.15.37.62
NOTE: The synchronization frequency between primary and secondary server is governed by the SOA Record on the primary DNS server.
