What's the problem? If the query comes from a local user, recursion will be allowed, and the CNAME will be resolved. If the query comes from a remote resolver, recursion shouldn't even be requested. You'll respond with the CNAME, and the remote resolver will then do its own lookup of that. -- Barry Margolin Arlington, MA _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
