Certainly authoritative servers do load all data from zone files to RAM. And the data which the server is authoritative for are NOT in the cache. That memory segment is not referred to as 'cache'. Authoritative server _never_ stores in it's cache the data which it is authoritative for. In context of BIND the "cache" (and the option "allow-query-cache") is only about data which are retreived via recursion process and never about the data which the server is authoritative for. -- Anton _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
