[SLUG] BIND DNS settings

2004-12-05 Thread Edwin Humphries 
Just changing our DNS settings after churning to a new provider.
I remember there is a setting for BIND that tells it to refer DNS requests 
for addresses it does not have cached to a specific name-server, rather 
than doing a top-down DNS resolution.

Now I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is?
Best Regards,

It's the forwarders option.

In your options section, add:
forwarders { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx };

Er...
forwarders { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; };

Lousy semicolons.
