By 'auth' do you mean something like DNSSEC?  If not, who's doing
the auth-ing?


Do you understand the difference between an authoritative nameserver, a
caching nameserver, and a local resolver?


I understand the first two, but not 'local resolver'.  (I did assume you
meant 'authentication', not 'authoritative'.)

The local resolver is on your machine and uses /etc/resolv.conf. It usually 
goes by the name of glibc :-)

I see Adam answered your other question, but you already knew the answer to 
that.

He means authoritative server (ie a server that has a copy of the zone file)
- not authentication.
