If the secondary is BQ/BO use the GUI to setup secondary
"Edit Secondary Services"
Set up the primary to use the secondary in the DNS GUI
Add secondary to SOA records for the domains.
Else
You need modified named.conf files.
naybe in /etc/bind/named.conf.local (this is on my debian system)
zone "domain.tld"
{
type slave;
file "sec.domain.tld";
masters
{
111.222.333.444;
};
};
Set up the primary to use the secondary in the DNS GUI
Add secondary to SOA records for the domains.
When you have the conf file fixed reload/restart named
And the secondary will pull the records from the primary
