DNS Redundency

Hi all,

I have recently received a second network connection for my server which comes with an ip on a different subnet via a different provider.

I have set it all up so I have:
eth0 : first provider
eth1 : second provider

Both are able to be contacted by the outside world.

Now my question is:

I have bind9 running on my box, and currently it is my only name server, i dont have a secondary. What I am wanting to do is to setup a second bind9 server on the same box but get it to only communicate with the eth1 connection, thus allowing me redundency. I know I would have to edit the zone files.

Any suggestions on the best practise in my situation? I don't have the time or the hardware to setup a second box just for dns.

Cheers!

Chris
