I gather "recursion yes" (explicit or default) controls whether BIND *does* recursion itself, in the sense of querying other DNS servers for data it doesn't have, not whether it *issues* queries with the "recursion desired" flag set. (Somewhat confusing terminology, in my opinion.) So is the "recu

We have a BIND server on our LAN which is authoritative for our ".local" domain and also provides our users with general caching DNS service for all other domains. Its "named.conf" file doesn't list any "forwarders" any more, and "forward-only" is gone, but it still has a leftover "recursion yes"

Iterative mode is the default lookup mode for recursive servers. It is where the server follows the delegations from the root servers to talk to the authoritative servers directly. Recursive mode is where you use another recursive server (in iterative mode) to talk to the authoritative servers. S
