→Set-up slave Name Server (birch)
#Create a '''regular user''' for this virtual machine using '''your Seneca userID'''.
#Setup a DNS server on your '''elm''' virtual machine with noting the following items below:<ol type="a"><li>This virtual machine will be the '''Slave DNS server''' (in case the Master Name Server goes down).</li><li>This virtual machine will obtain its zone files by copying them from the Master Name Server.</li><li>This Slave DNS server will check for updated records from the Master DNS server every day. If the initial attempt fails, then it will attempt every hour until it succeeds.</li><li>This machine will provide '''forward''' and '''reverse''' lookups of ALL virtual machines in the '''coniferous.trees.ops''' zone, the zone files for which will be obtained from '''elm.coniferous.trees.ops'''.</li></li>Only machines within the spiral.galaxies.ops domain will be allowed to query this machine.</li><li>This machine will not provide recursive lookup capabilities for any machines.<br><br></li></ol>
#As you will now have a functioning primary secondary DNS server, modify your network configuration file to specify its new IPADDR. #A default setup for a master DNS server should be sufficient, but make certain that the address of your '''admin contact''' is: '''yoursenecaid@ops335a1.org''', and that
