I'm running Bind 9.6 and dnsextd (llq and tsig handling). I have split DNS views based on source ip address and possession of a tsig key: internal-trusted/external-trusted/internal-visitor/external-visitor. The DNS server and clients are all mac 10.6+ so I'm taking advantage of mDNSResponder features such as looking in the system keychain for the tsig keys. I have a WAB subdomain for dns-sd, etc. I've had to replace dnsextd with an older version, since current macosx versions are dead. I wondered if the limited access to DNS records at the top level of my domain would be a problem. My first thought was to take over the DNS for this domain but rfc882 saying a domain must have at least 2 nameservers rules that out. Frankly, I probably don't understand enough about how glue records function...
