Thanks Pascal. We have a previous bug report already filed about a similar problem with DNS serial numbers (the serial numbers currently change every 5 minutes). I’ll add this to the list.
For what it’s worth - I’m not having this problem (as long as I don’t do a DNS check at the exact moment the boxes are syncing).
I’ve got 2 different IWorx boxes syncing with a single (non-Iworx) djbdns installation for secondary (using the tweaked script located elsewhere in this forum).

This problem is only for some LTD as FR for example !
Indeed, every registrar that sell .FR must pass a Zonecheck from the AFNIC when they update the primary and secondary servernames
If the AFNIC Zonechechk fails then the registrar refused to setup your Primary/secondary server names !

Right - but, I thought the reason the zonecheck is failing is because the serial numbers aren’t in sync.
I’m only indicating that I’m not having an “in-sync” issue (no pun intended - and in fact, I hope I never have that issue … ) If you could get the sync-ing problem fixed, then the zonecheck would pass (unless I’m missing something else).
You right I have this zonecheck problem, not because the sync is not well done, but because one box sync the other in a bad order.
The server A sync server B and server B sync server A (because ns1 is on server A and ns2 is on server B)
So there is a difference in the serial number
The only way I found to resolve this is set the 5 mn crontab at the exact same hours on the two box and then put a delay on one of the box of 10 or 20 seconds
Have you thought of just syncing all of your DNS to “secondary” servers? Think of staging yourself for the situation of when you may have 25 Iworx servers - and you’ll probably still only want to have 2 functioning as DNS for resolution from the outside for your hosted domains (not 25+).
I currently sync more than 1 IWorx box to external DNS - which works great (esp. since we have MX resolution for certain domains outside of the originating IWorx box. This allows mail to flow even when the “primary” DNS" is down).
We tend to have less of the serial numbers not matching since it only has to sync one direction, not two.
I already have more than 2 servers, but 2 of them are my ns. All of others servers sync to 1 (which sync to the secondary). There is only these 2 servers that sync themself
) If you could get the sync-ing problem fixed, then the zonecheck would pass (unless I’m missing something else).
