how to modify the cache

[Kevin Darcy]

To clarify, it's sometimes necessary to "mix" iterative and recursive 
resolution in the same nameserver instance, maybe even the same view. 
Oftentimes, there simply is no choice, because the source of the zone 
information doesn't make an authoritative nameserver available, only a 
forwarder (thus the insidious, viral effect of forwarding; forcing not 
only your own infrastructure into recursive resolution, but that of 
everyone who wants to talk to you as well, ultimately culminating in a 
spiderweb of point-to-point dependencies).

What I meant by "mixing" (possibly not the best word choice) is choosing 
a recursive option if an iterative option is available, all other things 
being equal. Perhaps it would have been better for me to merely promote 
"stub" or "static-stub" as an iterative alternative to forwarding, than 
to complain about "mixing".
