Hello,
i have 2 domain controllers hosting Windows 2000 SP4 in parent-child
cofiguration.
1. "corporate.local" Domain controller and DNS server with ADI zone
2. "europe.corporate.local" Domain controller and DNS server with it's own
europe.corporate.local ADI zone
I have setup a secondary zone in the "europe.corporate.local" for
"corporate.local"
which is hosted in a flat dns file
I get all the records from the "corporate.local" in the secondary zone
hosted on the
"europe.corporate.local", so the zone transfer works.
When i restart the DNS Server service on the "europe.corporate.local" the
secondary zone "corporate.local" dissapear.
To keep resolving hostnames in the parent namespace i have setup a forwarder
from the child to the parent. But since the parent server is not on-site if
the connection is lost between them the child is not able to resolve names in
the parent
(obviously only the cached ones). Since i want to have redundancy in case
that the parent server is not reacheble to be able to resolve names i would
need a solution
to maintain this zone "alive". A similar article for W2K3 indicate to a
hotfix KB842741
but for Windows 2000 i was not able to find a solution.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you
