Guys,
What is the signifigance of having a "forward only;" directive in the
/etc/named.conf file?
options {
forwarders { x.x.x.x; };
forward only;
};
I would have the same functionality if I did this so why do people
recommend that
one include the "forward only;" dircective?
options {
directory "/usr/local/named";
forwarders { x.x.x.x; };
};
2. Also, when I look in /var/log/messages

Why does it say my Forwardinf address is [0.0.0.0].1027
