I have configured a simple forward zone like the following in BIND: zone "3.10.in-addr.arpa" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { 1.2.3.4; } ; };
This is the only zone I have configured. When I query for, as an example, 1.2.3.10.inaddr.arpa (PTR), I expect BIND to query the 1.2.3.4 forwarder and return the response provided by 1.2.3.4. With BIND version 9.6.1-P1, this works as expected. However with version 9.9.1-P3, BIND does not attempt to query the forwarder and instead immediately returns an NXDOMAIN response. I found that adding the following zone, in addition to or instead of the original, produces the desired results: zone "10.in-addr.arpa" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { 1.2.3.4; } ; }; However, I do not wish to send all 10.in-addr.arpa queries to the forwarder; I only wish to send descendants of 3.10.in-addr.arpa there. Is this a bug in BIND 9.9.1-P3? I do not understand why the only zone configured would not be used, since it does appear to be the nearest (and only) ancestor of the domain I am querying. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
