Help Setting Up A Secondary DNS

[Zgirl]

hey all,

how would i make a secondary dns server? I'm running redhat linux and bind 9.2.1

I got a few ip addresses assigned to me, i think all i have to do is add my ip in /etc/resolv.conf
this is the contents of this file:
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 2.2.2.2

1.1.1.1 works prefectly but 2.2.2.2 doesn't,
i believe i have to add it in /etc/conf as a "listen-to" statement..
any help would be appreciated

thanks

Add this to etc/named.conf

zone "yourdomain.com" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/yourdomain.com.hosts";
};

Navigate to /var/named/

Create a file called yourdomain.com.hosts

Add this:

$ttl 34800
;
;
;yourdomain.com.hosts
;

@ IN SOA yourdomain.com. webmaster.yourdomain.com. (
2003070801
1200
120
1209600
1200 )
;Define the nameservers
IN NS your.nameserver.com.


;Define the hosts in this zone
www.yourdomain.com. IN A 12.34.56
yourdomain.com. IN A 12.34.56


;Define the aliases in this zone
*.yourdomain.com. IN CNAME yourdomain.com.
yourdomain.com. IN CNAME yourdomain.com.


Then restart named (BIND).

DNS is so complicated.

would this work?

$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. ns2.mydomain.com. ns3.mydomain.com. (
1059542250 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum

mydomain.com. IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. IN NS ns2.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. IN NS ns3.mydomain.com.
ns1.mydomain.com. IN A 1.1.1.1
ns2.mydomain.com. IN A 1.1.1.2
ns3.mydomain.com. IN A 1.1.1.3
mydomain.com. IN A 1.1.1.1
www.mydomain.com. IN CNAME mydomain.com.

would that be all i have to do?
btw: 1.1.1.1 will be mydomain.com and on that same ip i got my dns server running, which works.
