Hi gurus,

I appologize in advance for my poor english, I'm not a native speaker.


I'm trying to setup a double dnsmasq configuration acting this way : 
having one dnsmasq as an authoritative server for a zone, and a second 
one being a slave server.

I'd like to configure these to have zone transfer between them.

The first part, the one with zone authority and zone transfer to my ISP 
works fine. Now, (for fun), I'd like to have another dnsmasq running, as 
a slave system, to see if I can replace my ISP dns.

So, I've been able to configure my primary dnsmasq system with 
auth-sec-servers and auth-peer, but the slave one, I couldn't find any 
documentation on how to set this correctly.

I've dug the internet (maybe not enough) but this "slave" config is 
still a mystery.

Would anyone have a hint to achieve this ?

Thanks in advance

Doff
