Without the 192.169.x.x network.

So you need this:

> [@boboshaq](#):
>
> 192.168.0.1 primary.domain primary pri  
> 192.168.0.2 secondary.domain secondary sec

and this:

> [@subhasisb](#):
>
> PBS\_LEAF\_NAME=secondary.domain

This way, the value in PBS\_LEAF\_NAME matches the FQDN of the secondary host, secondary.domain exactly
