So my configuration seems to be correct :-)
Say... does all Name Servers on the Internet work like this? Cache the
data only in memory?
If (hypotetically) all the Name Server´s in the I-Net where rebootet
at the same time... the request for a specific domain could take hours
till it is resolved... then a nslookup request would run across the
Internet till he finds the Server who holds the domain?
