Well, that's the most important difference to me. If you look at the config from the email archives there are some other differences such as additional-from-auth/cache, provide-ixfr, allow-transfer, and some zone file differences. Some of those would allow a list as an argument but I don't think all of them do, do they? My main goal was to limit recursion to our clients only and provide root hints for the non-trusted queries. There were a few other less important differences too. > options { > <snip> > allow-recursion { trusted; }; > }; > > What does messages file say? It reports that the updated zone was loaded into the trusted view but doesn't mention the non-trusted or chaos zones (I forgot about the 3rd chaos zone). It also bitches about journal file since I have the config set up to allow IXFRs but am manually editing the zone files instead of using nsupdate. That shouldn't be a problem though, IMHO. It just means IXFRs are broken so XFRs run as AXFRs. This is confirmed by the next 2 lines where my slave AXFRs the updated zone.

I see both trusted and non-trusted zone loading entries then. Thanks Justin
