Re: Error 6702

both sites are considered authoratative for the domain for these purposes (I
am using split DNS but that is another issue)

I have removed the domain.com domain from my cottage DNS server and added
the forwarders.

However, I would like a copy of the domain.com to be maintained at my branch
office and now it is gone I don't have that.

Is there a way to add domain.com and to populate from the head office on a
regular replicated basis?
