Hi,
I'm currently trying to get a grasp on DNS and Bind. I admit the
documentation is quite confusing, either too laconic or way too
detailed. So I'm trying to start from a working example, and then bite
my way through it.
I have a sample named.conf file from Carla Schroder's Linux Cookbook. In
the opening global options, I have this :
listen-on {
127.0.0.1;
10.11.12.1;
};
allow-recursion {
127.0.0.0/8;
10.11.12.0/24;
};
As far as I understand, the purpose of these two stanzas is to limit
access to the DNS server to 1) the server itself and 2) the local
10.11.12.0/24 network. In that case, there seems to be some redundancy
in the syntax. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Can someone please explain (in plain words) the exact meaning of these
stanzas ?
Thanks,
Niki
