2011-03-14 Thread Martin McCormick
We just moved one of our remote campuses to new IPv4 number space and I was having tremendous problems all day using nsupdate. I thought it was because the change of DNS address had not gone through yet, but it had and a whois lookup shows the correct DNS addresses. When I finally

Marc, A stub zone tells BIND to load SOA and NS records from its masters {}. (forwarders {} is, I belive, both useless and incorrect here.) From that point onwards, your BIND will use the data in the stub to recursively find answers to queries for that zone. The forwarder on the other hand, instr
