Hi... Is it possible to configure .localdomain to delegate a subdomain to 127.0.0.2, so that the client then tries to do a lookup from that localhost address on itself?
The scenario is a farm of sendmail + RBL servers that have independent management and databases, but a single bind server. Sendmail etc. would do a lookup of 78.56.34.12.rbl.localdomain and it would look at localhost on 127.0.0.2, where the local RBL service listens. Is that possible? For lookups that work when queried directly from the client local RBL on 127.0.0.2, this causes the response "no answer:" view local_domains { match-clients { localhost; internal; }; match-destinations { localhost; internal; }; recursion no; include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones"; }; and "recursion yes" causes the response "NXDOMAIN." Those were better outcomes, it seemed, than "response timed out" when rfc1912.zones was lumped into views of the internal network and vpn domains, which have recursion for looking up external names.
