i was reading the article on bind and views with master/slaves here:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/networking/news/views_0501.html
and i saw:
recursion yes;
recursion no;
...with yes being allowed on internal views, and no for external views. what
exactly is recursion and what does it affect from the clients point of view
or operation?
my second question was the:
allow-transfer { any; };
allow-transfer { none; };
...also used within internal and external respectively. how exactly do those
affect a client? i did notice that my slave was unable to transfer
the 'none' zone until i changed 'none' to 'ip-alias-of-slave'. i would
assume that having just a single ip listed (of my slave) is basically the
same as 'none' security wise, but i would like to have a better understanding
of what these 2 examples mean.
other than that, my 20 zones are up and functioning correctly... i just dont
know why :)
thanks in advance,
jonathan
