Problem with External DNS

Hi!!!

I have a external DNS, where the MX record, A, CNAME, etc. ..

I have 2 servers on different networks under Windows 2003 St. The area I
have in the authoritative SRVDNS01 and the secondary server - backup- in
SRVDNS02.

If I modify the records of a domain from the console on the SRVDNS01 be
replicated correctly to SRVDNS02.
I have the problem that there are domains that I should change about 50
records with a given IP, and I want to modify all at once, instead of going
row by row.

To do this, open the area domain.dns in C:\windows\system32\DNS with
notepad, replacing the old with the new IP and save the file. I do all this
with the DNS service stopped, edit and start service.

No records to replicate SRVDNS02.

That is my problem and I do not understand why.
Thank you.

You should use more CNAMEs instead of multiple Host Records ("A" Records)
having the same IP#.

When an IP# changes then you only have to change the one "A" Record of the
one Host that all the CNAMEs point to. The CNAMEs stay the same.

Ok, I have to point to CNAME records, but I have too many records A and I
need to change the IPs for the same. I can not do through the notepad?

When you changed it, did you bump up the version number by at least 1?

Not sure what you mean by "...but if the SOA" - incomplete sentence?

When you loaded the zone after you changed it, did you see the changed
records in the GUI? If so, try to make one more change, such as add a record
(any record), then see if it changes, then transfers.

Tests

1 .- Net stop dns
2 .- Edit records with notepad
3 .- net start dns
4 .- In the console Primary DNS are changed
5 .- any moficicacion in Secundary DNS
6 .- In the Primary DNS serial number would increase the SOA from the
console.
7 .- In the Secundary DNS, that is replicated moficiacion but not the
records.
8 .- In the Primary DNS, edit or create a record from the console and is
replicated to the secondary well.

Problem can be notepad?

Hmm, not sure. If you remove the secondary, and re-add the secondary, does
it work?

Also I assume that TCP and UDP 53 are both open?
