Hi Brian, Yes, the auth server will not be reachable from internet it will be only for internal purposes.
I mean, better performance than configure auth server to answer client queries and if there is not an internal record forward them to the recursor and finally to internet dns server, like I have seen in the configuration guide. I am using SLES 12 SP1. The only repositories I have found are for 4.0.X version. Is there any repo for 4.1.X in SLES?
