Hi,

So, I created a Reverse Lookup zone and added the PTR
record for server 1. Great, it seems I can perform
nslookup now.

Do I need to add a PRT record for Server 2? Server 2
itself has a DNS server. Server 2 is meant to be a
backup/failover server of Server 1. Will it and how can I
have the changes made on Server 1 to be regularly
synchronized to Server 2?

best regards,
jackling
