Prob with "forwarders" directive

[Mathias Körber]

> Hi,

I find a lot of missing open braces. Dod you cut/paste badly?
They don't seem to be reported in your error log, so I guess you
really have them, only they didn't make it into your mail...

add a $TTL at the top of the zone

Yes, the minimum field in the SOA recordis n longer used as default
TTL (it now specifies the negative caching TTL). BIND expects
to see a $TTL directive at the top of the zonefile telling it
the defailt TTL.

No, this tells you which address your nameserver sends its queries
from (ie the the address the forwarder will see the query coming from =
and
send the reply to).
I this case 0.0.0.0 means it will use INADDR_ANY and leave it to the O/S =
to figure out the best
IP Address to use reaching your forwarders (based on local network
topology etc).
