With forward zones, the server sends a recursive query and expects 'the answer' in return. Other queries are handled iteratively by sending non-recursive queries to authoritative nameservers - that includes those for both stub and static-stub zones. (Conceptually, it's an explicit 'override' for the published nameserver information for when named needs to send queries to the authoritative nameservers for that zone). _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
