Secondary specification: Should I tell mom ?

## 3. Should I tell mom ?

Someone has to tell other that your DNS is the secondary of a given domain. If it's not done, then your DNS is maybe working for nothing: It won't receive any query for that domain.

This job has to be done in the primary specification (see DNS advertising). So this is not your job :-) The primary has to name explicitly the secondaries. Further, it has to register this information in the DNS of its parent domain. This is often forgotten.
