Hi Kevin.

Assuming Linux based ( I use Fedora and RH9 ), you can setup forwarders and recursion. In named.conf ( or what ever you may call it):

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        ...
        ...

        allow-recursion { 192.168.100.0/24 };

        forwarders      {4.2.2.2; 4.2.2.7};
};

that should do it.

I'm trying to optimize a server using MD and currently it does not run bind or cache lookups because the server must use a specific nameserver.

In short, I don't know how to configure bind to always query another nameserver rather than use the root servers. Any hints?

regards,
KAM
