Hi
While testing the option "lame-ttl" with values 0 (disable) or any value
higher zero on our resolver, I'm unsure, if I missed something (BIND
9.11.2):
lame-ttl defines the time in seconds, how long a lame-server-entry
should be cached and therefore not should be further asked (because it
seems to be down). See
http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/hkpng.html#lame-ttl
If BIND recognizes a lame-server (written in the logfile), the
corresponding server will not be contacted for authoritative queries. If
I set the value "lame-ttl 0;", which means, caching lameservers will be
disabled, then I would expect, that BIND will do "round-robin"-queries
to all authoritative servers of a zone (includes the down-one). BUT:
BIND still would have a notice of the lame-server (written in the log)
and this server will still *NOT* be contacted for lookups.
I've tested with simple iptables-rules on my resolver, which are
blocking outbound-connections to one or more authoritative servers of a
zone for simulating the "lame-servers"-behavior.
Any explanation or hints for this (mis)-behavior?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Tom
