Can I use a CBS350 as a secondary DNS server in a Windows domain?

[Simon Weel]

I'm about to retire an old server running Windows 2008 R2. This machine acts as a secondary DNS server for the domain. While technically I don't need two DNS servers, it is good practice to have a fall back in case the primary DNS server (i.e. the Domain Controller) fails. My first thought is to use the CBS350 as a replacement, so I did some searching on how to configure it as a secondary / slave DNS server. While there's a lot info about configuring DNS, I haven't found anything about using it as a secondary DNS server. Or maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. Anyway, is this possible and if yes, how to configure things?

There is nothing major requirement to setup secondary DNS Server

If you using MS DNS - there may be replication of Host and other records between them. (if that is not you doing)

just setup and DNS Server on Switch (if that support) - on the clients use primary MS DNS and Secondary Switch DNS IP address ?

Hope this should work for you to query FQDN DNS.

If you are doing any HOST A Entry then you need to replacate somehow on both the systems manually.

There is no DNS server on CBS350. The DNS settings that you see there are client ones.
