Re: Problem setting of Secondary DNS zone's on Win2003 Server

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

In news:%239HHVRcJHHA.1424@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Simon Verona <xx@xxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
nslookup is definitely using the same DNS server (I'm typing server
[ipaddress] to force this).

I've deleted and recreated the zone on several occasions to no avail.

The DNS server is probably not a Windows machine (I have no idea to be
certain). It's certainly not part of te AD setup for this network
(it's a DNS server for a suppliers private network).

Is there anything more I can be doing?

In the meantime, can I import the name server list from the windows
2000 server to get it up and running (the addresses on the dns server
rarely change). ? If so then how ?

Thanks for you assistance.

Simon

If they do not allow zone transfers, then No, you can't do it. Allowing zone
transfers are not enabled by default,otherwise everyone can copy a zone from
any machine on the internet. You will probably need to ask them. If they
already allowed you to be able to transfer the zone, you will also need to
allow inbound/outbound TCP 53 and UDP 53 to the 2003 machine from the source
(your supplier).
