Re: DNS - Primary / Secondary on one machine

Hi Davide,

The reason I would need to run two is that the domain registrar for (co.za)
domain names requires two DNS servers.

The fact that it all goes down (primary and secondary) doesnt matter much
because the sites are hosted on the same machine as the primary anyway.
(And its purely my personal sites).

Sure he can, but what's the point of doing so? The idea of having two
DNSes is because if the first is down the second can take up the job, if
both are on the same system... the primary DNS is the only mandatory one,
then
you can have as many as you like.
