Hi! All my original question was

   We intend to make alpha 3.2 to become our
secondary DNS server. How can we configure it?

Most people suggested me to use bindsetup.
Few of them suggested me to do manually.
for example,

Craig (hagan_at_cih.com) said:

I'm going to assume that you are running bind < 8.1,

edit the file /etc/named.boot (copy it from your primary server)

where you see:

primary whatever.com db.whatever

replace it with

secondary whatever.com ipaddrofprimary db.whatever

e.g.

primary foo.com db.foo

would become

primary foo.com 192.168.1.1 db.foo

if the ip address of the primary nameserver was 192.168.1.1

Thanks to all who helped.

David.
