More than Caching DNS server

[Rudi Starcevic]

Hi,

> it works for me
Yeah - I added this to my named.conf not long after my last post
which made it work. I tinkered with some of the options is this is
the only way it'll work for me so far:

view "external" {
  #match-clients { 192.168.1.0/24; 127/8; };
  match-clients { any; };
  zone "." {
   type hint;
   file "root.hints";
   };

I thought I needed recursion on as I want to be the authoritive
name server for some domain names I have ?

Thanks
