These updates cause additions and deletions of resource records and updates
to the zone's serial number.
Figure 6 illustrates a Novell server as the primary DNS name server and
primary and secondary zones within eDirectory. In this example, there are two
primary zones. Any of the Novell DNS servers assigned to a zone are able to
respond to queries for the zone. For each zone, one server is designated by the
administrator to act as the DDNS server. In this example, Server1 is the
Designated DNS server for Zone 1 and Server3 is the Zone In server for the
secondary zone called Foreign Zone. Server 2 provides DNS services for Zone
1 and Zone 2, but does not perform DDNS updates or zone transfers. Server 3
occasionally requests zone transfers from the foreign server and places the
modified zone data into eDirectory, where any of the Novell servers can
respond to queries for it.
