No forwarding

[Bob Vance]

Hmm.
Are your *sure* it's forwarding for that zone ?

IIUC, if the server is authoritative for that zone (which it *should*
be, being a slave for it), then it shouldn't forward for any request in
that zone.
Maybe it's not loading that slave zone and thus thinks it's not
authoritative for it.

Of course, if what I just said is correct, then I must wonder why there
is a possibility of

        forwarders { };

in a zone declaration, which I've seen mentioned here before, but I
can't remember the context of the discussion.

Here is my issue.  When I query items within zone.com, and they do not
exist,
and I don't want that particular zone to forward it still reaches the
forwarders.
 What I am doing wrong?  Also in named.conf, I do not use the forward
first/only.  Should I?


Named.conf


        forwarders {
                199.251.271.44; };
};

zone "zone.com" {
        type slave;
        file "secondary/zone.com.zone";
        masters {
                10.0.10.4;
        };
        forwarders { };
};

Thanks,

Larry
