Ok.. For iterative or non recursive, doesn't this happen?
1. Resolver goes to it's nameserver.
2. nameserver only returns info that is in its database?
Recursive:
1. resolver goes to nameserver
2. nameserver then queries the other nameservers.
no-recurse in nslookup refers to the resolver
options no-recurse in named.boot refers to how the server handles a
recursive query it receives. options no-recurse indicates the server
will NOT send anymore info to the client then it has in it's database.
I get a different meaning from the last paragraph of the Iteration
section in chapter 2. But, then again I may be misterpreting it.
