Correct. However, an option to use the system resolver for this instead is a feature request we've been considering. The reason: Whenever we find a security bug that affects recursive operation only, someone who runs an auth-only server inevitably asks whether their system is affected, and we always have to say, "well, *probably* not, but recursive code *is* sometimes used in authoritative servers in order to blah blah etc" and it might be nice to just say no. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
