A Netware 6 DNS server can be authoritative for multiple zones. There is no
limit to the number of zones a Netware 6 server can support other than those
mentioned in "Optimizing DNS Performance" on page
have to do with the total number of objects.
When you configure a zone, the Assign Authoritative DNS Server field in the
Create New Zone task is the one that specifies the DNS server that will support
the zone.
A multi-homed server is a server with more than one IP address. In an Internet
environment, a multi-homed server is a single server connected to multiple
data links, which may be on different networks.
When using a DNS server with more than one IP address, you must use an
address that is bound to the server, and that address must match the address
used in the NS and A resource records for the zone.
NOTE:
An NS resource record specifies a domain name for an authoritative name
server for the specified class and domain.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provides automatic updating of DNS with Address
and Pointer records for addresses and hostnames assigned using the DDNS
feature. To use DDNS, the following configuration must already exist:
The DNS Zone object to receive DHCP updates must already be created.
Subnet Address Range objects that will use DDNS must be set to range
type Dynamic BOOTP and DHCP or Dynamic DHCP.
To activate the DDNS feature, complete the following steps:
1
Select the Subnet object of the Subnet Address Range on which you want
to activate DDNS and specify a zone in the DNS Zone for Dynamic
Update.
