- I was going to say to RTFM, but it looks like the man page is wrong.
- The newer and more improved version of named that Sun is shipping
- with 4.1.1 wants the name of a file to store the secondary zone file
- in (so if the secondary is restarted while the primary is down or
- unreachable, it can immediately start acting like a secondary server
- again). At least the "System & Network Administration" manual is
- correct. You should have something like:
-
- secondary microunity.com [primary server address here] microunity.bak
-
- in your boot file.
