The dns resolution with 8.8.8.8 works fine with "forward first" if 8.8.8.8 is working but for testing i blocked with an intermediate firewall the dns requests to the forwarder and two things happened (the second one is bad).
1) If the firewall reset the connection to 8.8.8.8 bind fallbacks on its root servers and this is good 2) If the firewall drop the connection to 8.8.8.8 bind does NOT fallback on its root servers and this is a bad thing cause in this way i was testing a network outage for my forwarder. below my config Hi attach also che config /etc/resolv.conf search domain.dom nameserver 127.0.0.1 named.conf acl "trusted" { 127.0.0.0/8; 192.168.1.0/24; }; options { directory "/var/bind"; pid-file "/run/named/named.pid"; /* https://www.isc.org/solutions/dlv >=bind-9.7.x only */ //bindkeys-file "/etc/bind/bind.keys"; session-keyfile "/var/bind/session.key"; //listen-on-v6 { ::1; }; //listen-on { 127.0.0.1; }; masterfile-format text; allow-query { /* * Accept queries from our "trusted" ACL.
