If there is no option "recursion yes (or no);" specified in

Is "recursion" activated by default if option recursion (yes|no) is
missing in named.conf?
Yes, recursion is "activated" by default, but who is or is not allowed
to recurse in a default configuration, depends on the version of BIND
you're running. Older versions allow *open* recursion by default. The
default for modern versions of BIND, if none of the following are set:
recursion
allow-recursion
allow-query-cache
allow-query
is to restrict recursion to { localnets; localhost; }.
But there is cross-inheritance and override behavior among the options
mentioned above. All of this is explained in the ARM.
