This application discloses a method and
system for incremental
data transmission in DNS zones. First, a new incremental transmission request protocol is established between the primary and secondary zone servers to enable incremental synchronization detection and incremental zone configuration return from the primary
server. When the secondary zone
server initiates an update request according to its local update
timeout mechanism or periodic update mechanism, it follows the newly established request protocol. Then, when the primary zone
server reads that the protocol type is the target protocol type, it checks whether the current primary zone server supports incremental transmission and simultaneously reads the address
list of other primary zone servers. It then sequentially sends query requests to other primary zone servers to check whether they support incremental configuration synchronization, obtaining a
list of primary zone servers that support incremental configuration synchronization. Finally, it returns the query results to the secondary zone server. This invention ensures that even in scenarios with multiple primary servers with different configurations, incremental synchronization can be used to complete configuration synchronization normally.
