Unless you are running a "stealth" master - i.e. one whose job is to take over if the main one fails, this isn't IMO the way to do it. You should have one master and any number of slaves (a slave can be a slave to another slave BTW). The slaves will survive the absence of the master as long as the expiration period on the domain - typically a few days at least. Ian
