Forwarding was disabled for the parent zone, but it still didn't work. That's why I asked the question. I was doing one or the other, and trying to get rid of forwarding to the domain master. I have it on in global options because we don't let internal name servers go to the root; they forward to our dmz name server for internet lookups.
I can set up a forwarding zone on this server for the subdomain as someone else suggested. But if a stub zone is supposed to work, we're back to my original question. Given the information I provided in my initial question, why isn't it working when forwarding is disabled in the parent zone? _____ From: Chris Buxton [mailto:chris.p.bux...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 10:34 AM To: Mike Bernhardt Cc: 'Nex6'; bind-users@lists.isc.org; 'Mark Andrews' Subject: Re: Configuring a domain slave to look up subdomain hosts On Feb 28, 2012, at 10:04 AM, Mike Bernhardt wrote: Yes, you are confused :-) I am simply trying to get the domain slave to make queries for hosts in the subdomain which is hosted on other servers, instead of forwarding the queries to the domain master. I thought a stub zone would facilitate this by giving my server the lookup information it needed to do this. Apparently this is not the case. Even though it receives a db file with the NS and SOA information for the subdomain, it is ignoring it. Forwarding works. Being a slave for the subdomain works. Stub zone doesn't work. If it's supposed to "ignore" the stub zone in my configuration, what is the value of a stub zone? Disable forwarding in the parent zone or in the stub zones and it will work. Forwarding, which is often a poor design choice, overrides stub zones. Disable forwarding selectively or remove it from your architecture completely. Regards, Chris Buxton BlueCat Networks
