You didn't specify what OS you're using. (Since you mention /etc/, it's probably not Windows.) OS X with its "multi-client" resolver is the only stub resolver I know of that has this functionality built-in. If you want this functionality on other systems you have to install a local DNS server like Unbound and configure a "forward zone". -- Robert Edmonds _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
