Secondary DNS server not serving requests

Hello All,

We have a Primary and Secondary DNS servers that serve multiple zones.
Both the servers are Win2000 and are patched-up with latest updates. The
problem we are facing is, if the Primary server goes down the secondary
server is able to server requests until a reboot. When the Secondary comes
back online it is looking for a Zone file on the primary server, since the
primary is already down it is not able to find the zone file and fails to
serve any DNS requests.

Is there a way around this? May be Win2003 can handle this situation
well....................


Any comments or thoughts...............................



Thanks,
-Pavan

On the secondary server there was no file name in the Zone properties,
