<p dir="ltr">The basic answer is that you use null forwarders for any domains that you want to turn off the global forwarders. <br>
If you have a global forwarder and then you have <a href="http://bob.com">bob.com</a> with a null forwarder, <a href="http://bob.com">bob.com</a> and the domains below is will follow delegation. </p>

<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm a bit confused on the need for a blank forwarders statement inside of a zone statement in the named.conf file. Given an internal zone on a recursive server with global forwarders, what are the situations which would require me to code a blank forwarders statement inside of a zone statement in a named.conf? I have internal zones which 1) do not delegate children, 2) delegate children on the same server, and delegate children on different servers (and different versions of bind). I know that delegation is not affected on servers without global forwarders. The documentation around this is not clear (at least to me <grin>).</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
