I suggest to rewrite it as: DNS forwarder -- When a first resolver receives a DNS query (and cannot directly answers it), then sends the query to a second recursive resolver, instead of directly to the authoritative name servers, this second resolver is called a forwarder. Section 1 of RFC 2308 describes a forwarder as "a nameserver used to resolve queries instead of directly using the authoritative nameserver chain". RFC further says "The forwarder typically either has better access to the internet, or maintains a bigger cache which may be shared amongst many resolvers." _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
