Re: Help with Zone tranfers keep breaking

-Hooo... my God I think I need some clarification here.... Maybe I'm
confused...

-But I though his problem was that he configured a Secondary Zone on his
ForestA for the existent Primary Zone on ForestB!!!

-Is this not correct?

-And the Problem was that although he had configured that Secondary Zone to
load from 3 different Servers (that have the Primary AD Integrated), when
one of the servers (ServerC) is shutdown the zone fails to load from the
other two available servers!!!

-Is this wrong?



I'm not trying to say what is best for this scenerio, all I'm trying to say
is that in any case (if correct configurations) the secondary zone should
transfer....

Hi Kevin

If all the zones are AD integrated, zone transfers have no function,
an ADI
zone in Forest A will not replicate to Forest B. You would have to
create a
Secondary of Forest A zones on Forest B DNS.
Instead of using Secondary zones, you should use conditional
forwarding for
the zones in other forests. Alternately you can use stub zones but
conditional forwarders don't have to rely on any transfer of records.

That's true and I agree, and that's why I recommended Conditional
Forwarding,
What is weird beside that is that zone transfer should be working...
Right?

If he were using Secondary zones that might, but he has stated he has no
secondary zones. All are Primary ADI zones.
