Stub Zones...

Hi, I have what I hope is an easy question: When settingup a 'stub' zone, is it only valid to list the primary server for the zone in the 'masters {...};' config line? Or is it OK to list secondary servers in that list also? -Kyle ___ bind-users ma

The typical use case for a stub zone is where the delegation chain is broken, or incorrect, but you don't want to incur the overhead of slaving the zone (or some other sort of bureaucratic snafu like the owner/admin of the zone not letting you do zone transfers). As a general rule, stub

So... without stub zones, you know the drill: your local resolver follows delegation, starting from the root nameservers. Delegation happens, and life is good. If you're running views, then things work fine as well: your view just needs to be configured to allow queries from your local reso

Good evening, my freshly recrafted DNS servers got the latest BIND 9.18 pkg from FreeBSD. They're all supposed to only respond for a certain set of zones to the outside, but should be able to be used as a resolver from localhost. The pkg comes with a default config that slaves "." and its cousins
