Description:
Our secondary
DNS services offer you a way to instantly increase the
reliability and availability of you web services. Mirroring
your DNS zones on MyServer.org Inc's DNS server infrastructure
means you have a copy of all your vital information
on a totally redundant network. In the event your current
DNS servers suffer a problem, visitors can still find
their way to your sites by automatically querying our
servers. All this is easily managed via our web based
control panel. You can make DNS changes whenever you
like, and they'll happen instantly.
DNS outages
are the number 2 reason web sites fail! Don't rely on
just your ISP or own DNS server if your web services
are important to you.
There are
plenty of reasons why you need to have an off-site secondary
DNS server. These include:
Power
Outages: If you have an extended backup, it
can affect all servers at a specific site.
Circuit Outages: If your circuit to
your ISP goes down, your servers are no longer reachable
from the internet, thus as far as the internet is concerned
they are not there.
ISP/Internet Routing Problems: If your
ISP or major points on the internet have problems connecting
to each other, chances are that a portion of the internet
cannot see your DNS servers. Again, that means that
those servers which can’t see you think you don’t
exist.
Benefits:
You can run your own primary and let us handle the public
servers.
You can create your secondary zone in seconds and everything
is done live, so there are no processing delays.
Greatly increases your fault tolerance.
Can improve your site performance.
Economical and efficient service.
Mail Bounces. Most mail servers will actually return
mail if they can’t resolve the DNS name of the
system they are going to. If they can resolve the DNS
name, then they will usually hold onto the mail until
you come back up.
Web surfers, instead of getting the a messages saying
you don’t exist, they will receive messages indicating
your server is “down or not responding”.
Our DNS servers
support more than 22 record types and have wildcard
and round robin facilities enabled. They are suitable
for all sizes of organizations, from personal usage
right up to ISP's and web hosts.
Requirements:
In order for
you to use our secondary DNS service, you must provide
a primary DNS server somewhere on the internet, this
server address must be utilizing a static IP address,
the service will not function if you have a dynamic
IP address on your Primary DNS server. This server is
where you will maintain the primary copy of your zone
files. After the initial setup, our server will automatically
make a duplicate of your zone files from your primary
server when needed.
Process:
Before
creating a secondary zone on our servers you must first
configure your DNS server to transfer to our servers.
Most DNS servers allow a "notify" feature
allong with an allow zone transfer feature. You should
allow our server the ability to transfer your zones
from the following IP addresses.
