People,
A further update to our BIND and W2K issue, before I forward this as a
suggestion / bug I would welcome peoples comments.
It appears the following config does not support delegation:
options {
directory "/etc/namedb/ns_db";
forward only;
forwarders {
153.107.41.18;
153.107.41.146;
153.107.41.18;
153.107.41.146;
153.107.41.18;
153.107.41.146;
};
multiple-cnames yes;
version "Surely you must be joking!";
You must not be a forward configuration. I have not found anything
enlightening in any of the docs, or news archives.
We have even had difficulties with defining a separate forward in the
delegated zone.
It looks like someone decided if you are parenting you must not be a
slave!?!??
Any comments on whether this was a deliberate or an unintentional design
decision would be greatly appreciated.
We have only tested bind 8 code, we have an issue with Round Robin CNAMES
which must be resolved prior to analysis of bind 9.
Please email comments directly to me, and I will summarise.
Regards,
Guy
