Expire

Retry

C.
Refresh

D.
Serial

Explanation:
We need a zone transfer not updates of individual records. By upping
the serial number, the secondary will see that its copy is old, and will request a new
copy of the zone. This causes a zone transfer and all the records would be sent to the
secondary server.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The Expire value determines the life time of the DNS records. Changing this valuewould not
cause a zone transfer.
B: The retry is how often the cache needs to check back if it can’t contact the server for arefresh.
Changing this setting would not cause a zone transfer.
C: The refresh time is how often the cache needs to check for any changes. Configuringthis value
would not cause a transfer.
