Hi All
What is wrong here?

I have 2 windows 2003 DNS Servers (not in a domain), a Primary and a
Secondary.
After entering a CNAME in the (same as parent folder) to a other domain on
the same server, the secondary won't load the zone anymore.

Ex.
Zone Name = SecDom.com
(same as parent folder) Alias (CNAME) FirstDom.com

More info:
in the debugfile of the secondary Server I notice that the "SerialNo" in the
UDP response message of SecDom.com after entering the CNAME to FirstDom.com
has the SerialNo of FirstDom.com (in my case a higher number). Now any change
in SecDom.com isn't transfered to the secondary DNS Server.

Can somebody me?
Thanks
Willem

RFCs state that a CNAME cannot exist on the same node as another record,
since the root of the domain has NS and SOA records at the very least, you
cannot put a CNAME on that node. The Secondary won't transfer an invalid
record, and the Primary won't load an invalid record.

Hello ,

If I understand there is no transfer zone.
You can check it by incrementing the serial number on the primary DNS.
