Hi Greg,Great points!  I must have forgotten how messy this got :) ./John

<gregchoules+bindus...@googlemail.com>Hi John.Yes, you *could* forward and that 
was a setup I inherited a good few years ago. The appeal is obvious: it's easy 
to do; just chuck queries over there and get answers.But forwarding keeps the 
RD bit set, meaning that the server being forwarded to should a) have recursion 
enabled (though it will still answer if it is authoritative anyway) and b) is 
now obliged to try and find an answer, so if the people who run that server 
happen to configure forwarding somewhere else you can potentially end up with 
long, ugly chains of forwarding, even loops. None of stub, static-stub or 
mirror do this.Just my 2p.GregOn Fri, 14 Oct 2022 at 17:38, JW λ John Woodworth

 The config would go in the resolver but the files would not./John-------- 
Original message --------From: Bob McDonald <bmcdonal...@gmail.com>I'm thinking 
about redesigning an internal DNS environment. To beginwith, all internal DNS 
zones would reside on non-recursive serversonly. That said, all clients would 
connect to recursive resolvers.The question is this; do I use an internal root 
with pointers to theinternal zones (as well as the outside DNS world) or do I 
include stubzones to point at the non-recursive internal servers?Access to the 
internal DNS zones would be controlled by location.(e.g. guest WiFi devices 
would NOT have access to internal DNSzones...)Recursive resolvers would allow 
implementation of features such as RPZ, etc.Regards,Bob-- Visit
