Hey,

Is it possible to setup bind to only answer for the "own"
zones i created ?

I mean a setup like on ns1.granitecanyon.com, where you get
only
the root servers back, if you ask for datas of a zone for
which the nameserver isn't
authoritative.

Is it also possible to setup bind in a way, that for the
local net, bind acts like a 
"standard" dns server (with the right answers) and for the
rest of the internet as described
above ?

My intention is to use such a setup with bind 9 latest rc.

Greetings and thanks for your help

Torsten
