Close. I mean a properly-configured instance of squid, or a SOCKS proxy, or whatever other non-DNS, application level proxy you want to provide. Just configure your kiosks to use them. Then the kiosks themselves don't need DNS resolution at all. Chris Buxton BlueCat Networks On 5/12/10, Brian Can

Yes, of course. I've made that mistake before, in fact. Use a custom root zone, as I believe you originally mentioned, with delegations to just the zones that should be reachable. Or else set up secure proxies and disallow all DNS resolution (an empty root zone). Chris Buxton BlueCat Networks O

Recursion is enabled/allowed at the view level, not the zone level. One strategy would be to set up a view that matches recursive queries only. Set allow-query to none at the view, then set it any (or whatever) in each zone of type forward or stub. Or if you want to use your root zone idea, make

2010-05-10 Thread Brian Candler
Hello, I am trying to configure a bind9 view to allow recursion just for certain domains. (This is bind-9.2.4-16.EL4 under RHEL4). In fact, it doesn't even have to be real recursion, just forwarding to an upstream recursive nameserver. The point is that the clients are only authorised to look up
