Hi All,

Let me give a bigger picture.
Currently we have our public facing Primary DNS server running on Windows server which is old. The plan is, to decommission the current DNS server and etup CentOS with BIND9 as a replacement.

1. How can i setup the BIND9 in CentOS
2. Do i need to transfer current zones info to the new DNS server? or Shall i re-enter all the zones info again in CentOS?
3. What is the cutover strategy to achieve my goal?

I am sure, people in this forum had done lots of things with BIND and public facing primary DNS server.
Look forward to your knowledge sharing.
