Hi list
Our BIND (9.16.4) is authoritative for zone "example.com". Now I need to
forward a subzone "sub.example.com" to another nameserver instance on
the same server, running for example under port 5353:
A few years ago, this topic was already discussed:
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2009-April/076156.html
My BIND config looks like this:
================== SCHNIPP ==================
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "master/example.com.hosts";
};
zone "sub.example.com" {
type forward;
forwarders { 127.0.0.1 port 5353; };
forward only;
};
================== SCHNAPP ==================
In the zonefile for "example.com" I have a delegation like this (as
described in the post above):
sub.example.com. IN NS subns.example.com.
So, the authoritative server understands not to be responsible for this
zone and forwards the request to the other nameserver.
But: The zone-forwarding is only working, when I enable "recursion" on
the authoritative server. Does this means, that zone-forwarding really
requires recursion? Is there a better way with not enabling recursion
(perhaps with views) to accomplish this?
Many thanks for any hints.
Kind regards,
Tom
