"A forwarding DNS server offers the same advantage of maintaining a cache to improve DNS resolution times for clients. However, it actually does none of the recursive querying itself. Instead, it forwards all requests to an outside resolving server and then caches the results to use for later queries." What am I missing? Justin Ellingwood, who wrote the DigitalOcean piece, is a very experienced documenter. From his rather impressive resume, I'd be inclined to trust what he posts. -- Lindsay Haisley |"Friends are like potatoes.
