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?
