Hello, I noticed one of the root servers stats ( http://stats.l.root-servers.org/cgi-bin/dsc-grapher.pl?window=604800&plot=qtype_vs_invalid_tld&server=L-root ) of queried invalid TLDs, as at the moment we have no 'local.' or 'lan.' zones configured. Hence, any such queries from us go out to the Internet (sorry).
I gather that these zones are used by MS and MAC servers to some extent, so I am wondering if it would be better to simply create an empty zone or one with a wildcard in it? Or does it make any difference? (I have no idea what the zones are used for.) Whilst we have already configured zones for private (RFC 1918) zones, and several other 'local' type forward and reverse zones, would it be worth creating zones for 'belkin.', 'invalid.' and so on? Is that something that others do? I came across the above web site of stats by accident, but can't seem to find stats from other root servers. Anyone know if there are other stats available? Thanks, John. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 E-mail: john.ho...@plymouth.ac.uk Fax: +44 (0)1752 587001 _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
