master slave dns on different network IP

[tuhintt]

I do master, slave DNS on the same network and its successful. But what happened when one domain name has two different Name Server IP.
exp -
Name server - ns1.tt.com (100.100.100.100)
Name server - ns2.tt.com (200.200.200.200)
Here what I do (not sure what I am really doing) pls let me know if there any mistake.

acl ext { 100.100.100.0/24; 200.200.200.0/24; };
acl int { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.0/24; };
options {
directory "/var/named";
allow-query { ext; int; };
allow-transfer { none; };
notify no;
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "tt.com" IN {
type master;
file "tt.zone";
allow-query { any; };
allow-transfer { 200.200.200.200; };
};
zone "100.100.100.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "tt100.rev";
allow-query { any; };
allow-transfer { 200.200.200.200; };
};
zone "200.200.200.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "tt200.rev";
allow-query { any; };
allow-transfer { 200.200.200.200; };
};
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";

Hi tuhintt,

Your file is very long, so stating a confident comment is somewhat difficult, but it seems it should work. the only thing I suspect is, you should define the IP of slave server in options section of master server, where you have written 'none'.but it might work because in zone file you 've explicitly defined zone transfer to be allowed to slave.

regards,

thank u for ur suggest, one more this, is it legal to add my own domain name (tt.com) as an A record like,

@ IN SOA ns1.tt.com. root.tt.com.
(
1
3H
15M
1W
1D )

IN NS ns1.tt.com.
IN NS ns2.tt.com.
tt.com. IN A 100.100.100.100 //my own dom

ns1.tt.com. IN A 100.100.100.100
ns2.tt.com. IN A 200.200.200.200

tuhintt,

It is legal to include your actual domain name in an A record as you have done. All you are doing is assigning an IP address to a name. Since you have the authority to assign names and addresses for your domain, that authority includes the name of the domain itself.

The result is that if someone tries to ping tt.com they will be pinging the system at 100.100.100.100 just as if they tried to ping ns1.tt.com.
