connections to root servers

[BÖSCH Christian]

Hello,

 

I have two bind dns servers as client resolvers with local zones and for the rest

configured forwarders. The root zone “.” and hints file is commented out.

In the connection logs on the firewall I see a lot of connections from the resolvers

to the root dns servers. 

So can anybody explain why this happens? In my opinion everything should go to

the forwarders and I’m also wondering how bind knows about the root servers

when there is no hint file?

 

Thanks,

Christian
