Hi there, I am bit confused about DNS forwarders. I have two BIND Servers one is being used as Authoritative DNS server which has forwarder set to other server like this
Auth Server for xvyz.com 192.168.3.15 Recursive Server 192.168.3.44 Now if I am debugging from client side using -debug option I see 192.168.3.15 is directly resolving with ROOT DNS Servers though I have recursive no; option set in my BIND config. Ideally the query should have gone to 192.168.3.44 but in debug I am seeing the below output. Well how do I trace if forwarding is happening? ************************ C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup -type=a -debug www.cisco.com ------------ Got answer: HEADER: opcode = QUERY, id = 1, rcode = NOERROR header flags: response, auth. answer, want recursion, recursion questions = 1, answers = 1, authority records = 2, additional QUESTIONS: 15.3.168.192.in-addr.arpa, type = PTR, class = IN ANSWERS: -> 15.3.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = dns.xyz.com ttl = 10800 (3 hours) AUTHORITY RECORDS: -> 3.168.192.in-addr.arpa nameserver = dns02.xyz.com ttl = 10800 (3 hours) -> 3.168.192.in-addr.arpa nameserver = dns.xyz.com ttl = 10800 (3 hours) ADDITIONAL RECORDS: -> dns.xyz.com internet address = 192.168.3.15 ttl = 10800 (3 hours) -> dns02.xyz.com internet address = 192.168.3.14 ttl = 10800 (3 hours) ------------ Server: dns.xyz.com Address: 192.168.3.15 ------------ Got answer: HEADER: opcode = QUERY, id = 2, rcode = NOERROR header flags: response, want recursion, recursion avail. questions = 1, answers = 5, authority records = 13, additiona QUESTIONS: www.cisco.com, type = A, class = IN ANSWERS: -> www.cisco.com canonical name = www.cisco.com.akadns.net ttl = 838 (13 mins 58 secs) -> www.cisco.com.akadns.net canonical name = wwwds.cisco.com.edgekey.net ttl = 299 (4 mins 59 secs) -> wwwds.cisco.com.edgekey.net canonical name = wwwds.cisco.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns. ttl = 14531 (4 hours 2 mins 11 secs) -> wwwds.cisco.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net canonical name = e2867.dsca.akamaiedge.net ttl = 3599 (59 mins 59 secs) -> e2867.dsca.akamaiedge.net internet address = 23.57.126.108 ttl = 19 (19 secs) AUTHORITY RECORDS: -> net nameserver = a.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = l.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = e.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = i.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = d.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = f.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = b.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = h.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = g.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = c.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = k.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = j.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) -> net nameserver = m.gtld-servers.net ttl = 4663 (1 hour 17 mins 43 secs) ADDITIONAL RECORDS: -> m.gtld-servers.net internet address = 192.55.83.30 ttl = 103500 (1 day 4 hours 45 mins) -> m.gtld-servers.net AAAA IPv6 address = 2001:501:b1f9::30 ttl = 163960 (1 day 21 hours 32 mins 40 secs) -> d.gtld-servers.net internet address = 192.31.80.30 ttl = 77579 (21 hours 32 mins 59 secs) ------------ Non-authoritative answer: Name: e2867.dsca.akamaiedge.net Address: 23.57.126.108 Aliases: www.cisco.com www.cisco.com.akadns.net wwwds.cisco.com.edgekey.net wwwds.cisco.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net C:\Users\Administrator> **************************************
