Root Hints Data File for a .local Domain

2011-03-09 Thread Tony MacDoodle
Hello, I am currently running BIND 9.6.1-P3 and it works fine. My question is regarding the db.cache file. I am only running a local domain (apps.local) that does not access the internet for resolution. My current root hints file is from Internic. 1) Can I use a stripped version of the

Some hosts not resolving from No-IP by our DNS servers

Hello, I'm having a problem resolving several hosts from NO-IP. When I attempt to resolve them from our DNS servers I get no reply (we can resolve other hosts). I'm not certain why the resolution stops. If I force a resolution using external DNS servers using dig (i.e. Google 8.8.8.8) the

If I am not mistaken, when you do +trace, the trace actually comes from your machine running 'dig', and not the DNS resolver itself. (Others on list please correct me) Can you perform the same 'dig' query from the DNS server, without specifying which resolver to use? This smells like the DNS
