Basically, this is not similar. If you are a slave for the root zone, you not only cache the root nameservers itself, but also the nameservers used for the resolution of first-level subdomains. If you are a stub, you basically get nothing besides a hint-zone; otherwise you'd have to configure a stub-zone for every TLD that's out there (and configured in the roots) with the respective info to actually achieve (permanent) caching of TLD-NS-records in the form of a zone-file. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development ------------------------------------- Office Germany - EXPO PARK HANNOVER Beenic Networks GmbH Mailänder Straße 2 30539 Hannover Fon +49 511 / 590 935 - 15 Fax +49 511 / 590 935 - 29 Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beenic Networks GmbH ------------------------------------- Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hannover Geschäftsführer: Jorge Delgado Registernummer: HRB 61869 Registergericht: Amtsgericht Hannover _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
