Establishing a trust relationship

You can establish a master/primary nameserver relationship at your server setup level   refer to page 15 for more

information. If you do set up a primary nameserver, you need to establish a trust relationship between the two

servers so that you can add all DNS entries from the primary nameserver. This saves you having to log on to

multiple servers to set up various DNS entries.

To establish a trust relationship with a primary nameserver:

1. Click on the Establish A Trust Relationship With a Primary Nameserver link in the Dns Functions

menu.

2. Enter the root password for the trusted nameserver in the Master Server Root Password field.

3. Click on the

button.
