Re: Replication to secondary zone

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Mike,

Great idea to test replication with a new zone. Since you can execute a
zone transfer when it is set to allow to any server, there doesn't appear to
be a problem with the name or contents of your zone. I thought perhaps DNS3
might be requesting zone transfers on a different interface than the one you
are allowing. Since it is not dual homed, and you are successful with a
newly created zone, that cannot be the problem.

You may be able to fix the problem by simply deleting and recreating the
zone. If that is not feasible, or doesn't help, then it may be worth
checking your DNS registry settings.

(note that for W2k DNS entries are found in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Zones, whereas in
WS03 they are in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\DNS
Server\Zones)

Please let me know if you figure this out.

hi greg, thanks for your help.
DNS3 is not dualhomed and a just tried the "transfer only to the following
servers" opiton but the result is the same.
the interesting thing is that this morning i could create a new primary
zone, allowing replication to "servers on nameserver tab" and the rep to
DNS2
worked.
is it likely that the event i see in the logs is the result of a low layer
problem and not really a dns-setup problem?

thanks mike

What happens if you enter the IP address of DNS2 and DNS3 into allow zone

Is DNS3 dual homed?

hello
i`m setting up dns in an org that has 2 sites. i've got one DNS (DNS1)
which
hosts the primary zones, one DNS (DNS2) in the same site that hosts
secondary
zones that replicate perfectly from DNS1 and a 3rd DNS (DNS3) in the
2nd
site
(ptp connetcion - other IP range) which also hosts secondary zones
which
are
configured to replicate with DNS1.
on DNS3 i get the following event:
"
Tipo de suceso: Error
Origen del suceso: DNS
Categoría del suceso: Ninguno
Id. suceso: 6525
Fecha: 28/07/2006
Hora: 11:54:12
Usuario: No disponible
Equipo: DNS3
Descripción:
A zone transfer request for the secondary zone domainxy.COM was refused
by
the master DNS server at 192.168.0.xx. Check the zone at the master
server
192.168.0.xx to verify that zone transfer is enabled to this server.
To
do
so, use the DNS console, and select master server 192.168.0.xx as the
applicable server, then in secondary zone domainxy.COM Properties, view
the
settings on the Zone Transfers tab. Based on the settings you choose,
make
any configuration adjustments there (or possibly in the Name Servers
tab)
so
that a zone transfer can be made to this server.

en
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.";

now i doble-checked that zone transfere on DNS1 is configured correctly
so
that DNS1 allows servers on the nameserver tab to replicate (DNS2 and
DNS3
are in the list, DNS2 replicates w/o any problems) I found out that
replication works when i permit zonetransfer to any server (thing i
wouldn't
like to leave like this).
Is there anything i have to take in account when configuring
zonetransfer
between DNS in two different sites??

thank you ramiro
