When setting up a bind server 8.2.2 what is the best way to setup the /etc/resolv.conf file?
only have itself listed as a nameserver?  or have itself along with the slave ie ns2.domain.com

shouldn't I only have myself listed because the server is cabable of looking to the root servers and finding the answer, 
why would I want to specify another dns sever to look to thats not a root server.

also, should i have bind only listening on the ip address(s) of eth0 and not to let it listen on the loopback ?

thanks in advance
