Operational Guidelines for "local" zones in the DNS
draft-kato-dnsop-local-zones-00.txt
A very good draft.
3. Operational Guidelines
Those queries should be processed at the DNS servers internal to each site so that the severs respond with NXDOMAIN rather than sending queries to the DNS servers outside.
Name servers offering recursive service ought to serve the zones listed herein. When I have been giving DNS tutorials, I use the example of having a root hints file, a (master) localhost file and a (master) 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa file. I should expand the material on recursive servers to suggest being authoritative for all the listed zones.
For authoritative only servers, perhaps this is not as important, but should be a suggestion. For recursive servers, this is a significant suggestion.
