Hi Mark, Thanks for your response; whilst I accept what your saying, I'm not convinced it applies in this case.
As far as I can tell, recursion is enabled on the servers. (We don't have an allow-recursion entry in the named.conf, and my reading of the documentation implies recursion is enabled by default). An "rndc status" shows "recursive clients: 0/0/1000", which suggests to me that I can have up to 1000 recursive clients simultaneously, and using the same configuration file on a test machine and turning up the debugging level gives "16-Apr-2010 15:34:37.026 client x.x.x.x#35622: recursion available" Thanks, James Roberts-Thomson -----Original Message----- From: ma...@isc.org [mailto:ma...@isc.org] Sent: Friday, 16 April 2010 2:57 p.m. To: James Roberts-Thomson Cc: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Re: Unexpected issues with "nslookup" command In message <9b2fff1719120e4c83de53c2f70cc60755d5899...@secmclust01a.corp.ssi.go vt.nz>, James Roberts-Thomson writes: > > Can anyone explain what may be happening here, please? Stub resolvers really should be talking to nameservers that offer recursion. If it is talking to a nameserver that doesn't offer recursion then some of the answers returned may be mis-interpreted by the calling code. The warning is telling you that you have a configuration error.
