Hi all,

  I´m in doubt about some issues related to ´hint zone´... Please, let 
me know additional informations:

    1) What are accepted options in ´hint zone´ (BIND8.2.3)? I have 
seen (in docs.) only ´check-names´ option is accepted... Is it true?

    2) If yes/true (above), why others options is not accepted in hint 
zone (like: forwarders, allow-query, etc...)? I would like inhibit the 
BIND lookup for new root-servers when it is started...

    3) Are there some method to inhibit BIND don´t ask (lookup) for 
others root-servers assigned in db.root? I mean, we have four internal 
root-server assigned in ´my´ db.cache, and when I start BIND (named) 
they are ignored (overwrited)... I believe that happens because there 
are a ´forwarders { bla; bla...; };´ statement in named.conf ´global 
options´. This (BIND) behavior is true/correct? Why? (detail: I must 
have the ´forwarders´ statement in global options, because my clients 
need to be resolving internet names AND intranet names).

  I have already heard sounds like (DNS & BIND Book): ´It will not 
work, because intranet names resolutions are not compatible with 
internet name resolutions´. But I didn´t believe this... :-)

  I would hope that simple ´forwarders { };´ statement inside of hint-
zone works fine... But I get some messages that hint-zone was ignored.
    

Thanks and regards,


[ ],

Rainaldo.
