Re: DNS combining multiple domains

we have been running each school in our district (each one with its own Mac OS X Server running Bind) as their own private DNS domain (all forwarding to our network provider for public DNS):

You're running each school as a separate zone? Why not run one big zone for all schools?


Forwarding to your network provider for what exactly? Zones not local?

school.lan     10.10.1.0/24
school2.lan     10.10.2.0/24

etc.

Now the schools are connected in a WAN, but each still with the same private subnet 10.10.X.0/24.

What's the best way to approach sharing the DNS info across these domains, so that a lookup for ns.school2.lan is resolved on any other schoolX.lan subnet?

Use zone transfers. Maybe use Views like you should be.

One master DNS server with a forward and reverse zone for each domain, with a slave at each school?

Maybe, if you're a control freak and like to have central control. You could just have them each do zone transfers tpo each other and leave control for each zone local to each of these "schools".


Of course why bother to have a DNS server in each school, sounds like you just need one on your network that holds all the zones and everything using it as their DNS server...
