Because the point of configuring forwarders is to use them INSTEAD of following NS records. Forwarders are generally used when the server doesn't have direct access to the Internet, so it can't reach the nameservers named in NS records. The basic algorithm is this: If we're authoritative for the zone, return the answer. If the answer is already cached, return it. If there's a forward zone for it, obey it (send to its forwarders if any, otherwise follow NS records). If there's global forwarding enabled, send to them. Follow the NS records. -- Barry Margolin, bar...@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
