Re: two bind9 masters

Hi,
 I haven't found any cons, at least none I can think of right away. What I did  in my setup is.

1. setup a ssh key pair using the root user (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc.html) and place the public keys on the other servers.
2. create your records as you would on your master dns server.
3. create a simple shell script like so /etc/init.d/bind9 reload /usr/bin/scp /etc/bind/named.conf* root@server1.domain.com:/etc/bind/ /usr/bin/scp /etc/bind/reverse.* root@server1.domain.com:/etc/bind/ /usr/bin/scp /etc/bind/db.* root@server1.domain.com:/etc/bind/ /usr/bin/scp /etc/bind/named.conf* root@server2.domain.com:/etc/bind/ /usr/bin/scp /etc/bind/reverse.* root@server2.domain.com:/etc/bind/ /usr/bin/scp /etc/bind/db.* root@server2.domain.com:/etc/bind/ /usr/bin/ssh server1.domain.com /etc/init.d/bind9 reload /usr/bin/ssh server2.domain.com /etc/init.d/bind9 reload

 the ssh key pair is used to scp the named.conf and all the records to the  other dns servers and reload bind. some may prefer a different configuration  but this setup works for me. hope this helps you out with what your tring to  acomplish.
