<div>Hello all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried to add the forwarders in the root zone :</div>
<div> </div>
<div>/etc/bind/named.conf:9: option 'forward' is not allowed in 'hint' zone '.'<br>/etc/bind/named.conf:10: option 'forwarders' is not allowed in 'hint' zone '.'<br></div>
<div>So I really don't understand the behaviour...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a bug tracker for Bind ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>

<div>Which zone(s) have that forward clause? To do what I think you want to do, the zone should be the root (dot and only the dot in the zone name)</div>

<div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR:transparent;FONT-STYLE:normal;FONT-FAMILY:tahoma,new york,times,serif;FONT-SIZE:13px">Your named will use the builtin roots for any non-local lookups. Forwarding "." will send all non-local traffic to your edge daemon.<br>

<div><br>
<div>Hello,<br><br>I am currently running two bind9 server on Debian Squeeze.<br> 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze8<br><br>Server 1 is internal dns server and serve some local zone. This server should forward all unknown requests to our public DNS server. So I configured this server as follow :<br>
/etc/bind/named.conf.options<br><br> forward only;<br> forwarders {<br> ip_server_2;<br> };<br><br><br>The second server is allowed to do DNS request on the internet, so there is no forwarder configured.<br>
<br>The issue is that I see on my firewall that server1 is trying to do DNS requests on DNS ROOT server.<br><br>Any idea why I do have this issue ? wrong configuration ?<br><br>Regards,<br><br><br></div><br></div></div>
