I'm using Bind 9 with the standard module and this all works fine for ns0. However I think I am missing the point when it comes to setting up ns1 (my secondary DNS). The only way I can see to add slave records to this server is to do so manually and that can't be right. Is there a way of allocating the two nameservers to the zone file in the master and it automatically updating the conf file on the secondary dns?
Thanks

that's the only way I have found to do it.
Would require a script to parse ns0 zone files to autocreate secondaries on ns1.
Sounds like a feature request to me..

although you could set up the two webmin servers in a cluster.
then you could enable
"Create secondary on slave when creating locally?"
in Cluster Slave Servers in DNS module.
