caching-only forwarding...

[Kevin P. Knox]

Bind Users,

....sanity check please :-)

I have an internal caching only DNS server (all DNS servers on site are 
BIND 8.2.2 P5).  It forwards queries to an external server.  DNS 
communication is restricted by a firewall in between.  The internal DNS 
server can't contact root DNS servers.

Why even have a "hint" file with NS and A RRs for root DNS servers ...on 
the internal DNS server that is?

TIA :-)
