BIND as a slave for MyDNS master

[MooktaKiNG]

I would like to setup a slave with BIND. It should do nothing other then get all the dns data from MyDNS master.

How should i configure the slave BIND?
(i'm gonna use chrooted bind, which is simple enough)

This is becuase i want to install a slave without any burden, like mysql etc, just want a plain slave thats all. Also i don't want to share the same mysql database since that would defeat the purpose of having it in the first place. If master goes down so will slave.

If there is better way (lighter way ;)) please let me know.
Thank you.

It would be even more amazing if i could run MyDNS using sqlite :D anyway just a thought.

Have a look at this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto
The slave configuration is also explained there. :)

Do I need to do anything special to the mydns server to make it transfer correctly?

Hi could you enlighten us on how you did it...

My current situation:

I attempted to create a "master" dns server in ISPconfig 3 using mydns and have it replicate to my ispconfig 2 bind dns. Both servers are being NATed behind respective firewalls.

I updated the mydns.conf with the following options:

allow-axfr = yes
allow-update = yes
notify-enabled = yes
notify-source = (public NATed IP of mydns master)

I created the zone on the master ispconfig 3 server (mydns) and created a slave zone on the ispconfig 2 (bind 9) server pointing to the master.

The initial axfr goes through but any updates to the zone are not transferred with the following error in the log:

I receive the following in the syslog of the ispconfig 2 bind server:

Oct 31 10:03:30 (server) named[(PID)]: client (public.IP.of.mydns)#47075: received notify for zone '(domain).com'
Oct 31 10:03:30 (server) named[(PID)]: zone .com/IN: Transfer started.
Oct 31 10:03:30 (server) named[(PID)]: transfer of '(domain).com/IN' from (public.IP.of.mydns)#53: connected using (private.IP.of.bind)#35684
Oct 31 10:03:30 (server) named[(PID)]: transfer of '(domain).com/IN' from (public.IP.of.mydns)#53: failed while receiving responses: end of file
Oct 31 10:03:30 (server) named[(PID)]: transfer of '(domain).com/IN' from (public.IP.of.mydns)#53: end of transfer


Is the "failed while receiving responses: end of file" occurring because of the private ip being sent?? is "notify-source = " config option of mydns supposed to fix that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
