How to force GTM replication to mate

All, I have two GTMs setup in a pair (not HA local pair but at two different sites), and we also have slave DNS servers defined in the zones (which are our ISP's which we replicate our zones to).

 

We are trying to automate the DNS A record creation and have followed https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7032 for making manual edits to the bind files, however while the update goes out to the ISP slave DNS servers, the GTM/BIG IP DNS we make the edit on does not replicate the change to the other GTM/BIG IP DNS which it does normally via the GUI.

 

Is there anyway to force a replication from one GTM/BIG IP DNS to its mate?

    Greetings, The sync_zones script is executed only when gtmd notices that the timestamp for /var/named/config/named.conf on a peer GTM is newer than its own. So as a last step, to sync, simply run:

    touch /var/named/config/named.conf

    I'll see to updating the article with this info.

    Thank you, Kevin
