I read this section in the FAQ:
Question 5.22. DNS in firewalled and private networks
My question is in regards to this part:
"Private DNS - resolves names from DOMAIN.COM for hosts inside the
private network. If asked for a name outside DOMAIN.COM, they should
forward the request to the public DNS (forwarders line should be used in
the boot file). They should NEVER contact a root DNS on the Internet."
Why is this? Is it just because you are assuming the public DS may have a
cached answer already and it will save query time and bandwidth?
