Allow recursion for esternal resources in a authoritative zone on a "not open" dns server

[Chiesa Stefano]

Hello all.

I have a "closed" bind dns server. It answers only to queries related to
zones it is authoritative for (a normal behaviour... right?).
I have dns zones that contain cname that points to hostnames in domains
not managed by that server.
So it won't resolve that names returning the cname to the client.

I'd like to know if there is a way to tell to BIND "if the external
resource is in a domain managed by you, resolve (do recourse)"

Do you know if it is possible?

Thanks in advance,
Stefano.
