I've recently had an issue that I'm having some issues finding information on solving.
I have internal DNS resolvers...they act as recursive name servers for general internet queries, but we have forwarders explicitly defined for specific internal zones being served by other name servers. My configuration has one particular zone configured as such: zone "internal.organization.com" IN { type forward; forward only; forwarders {172.x.x.x; 172.x.x.x; }; }; I have our main zone, organization.com, hosted in an external area outside of a firewall with a wildcard record contained in it for anything that is not explicitly defined. I have some services that I need to reach using names that are in this external zone internally. What I'm trying to do is to slave the organization.com zone to my internal recursive resolver to mitigate any possible network issues. So I setup the internal resolver as a slave for the "organization.com" zone and found that queries against "internal.organization.com" were getting answered with the wildcard for the external "organization.com" zone. I can't seem to figure out why the forwarders are getting ignored. Is it an order of precedence, say authoritative zones are respected over forwarders...or something else?? Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide, or point me to some documentation I'm missing, Frank _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
