QuestionQ215

Application Protocols

Andrew administers a Windows 2000-based network. The network uses a primary external DNS server and a secondary DNS server hosted on the ISP's UNIX server to provide fault tolerance. Users report that they cannot connect to the URL when using the secondary server. What should Andrew do to fix the issue?

  • A He should disable the fast zone transfer in the Advanced tab of the Properties window on the secondary server.
  • B He should select the BIND secondaries check box in the Zone Transfer tab of the Properties window on the primary server.
  • C He should select the BIND secondaries check box in the Advanced tab of the Properties window on the primary server.
  • D He should enable the fast zone transfer in the Advanced tab of the Properties window on the primary server.
Explanation

A UNIX/BIND secondary server that does not support Windows fast zone transfers can fail to receive or use the primary zone data correctly. Enabling BIND secondaries on the Windows primary DNS server disables fast zone transfers for BIND compatibility; this setting is located on the server Properties Advanced tab.
