<div>We have a bind server (v9.6) that's hosts <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mydomain.com">mydomain.com</a>.
I'm trying to create a CNAME for <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://host.mydomain.com">host.mydomain.com</a> to
point to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://host.otherdomain.com">host.otherdomain.com</a>.
I don't host <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://otherdomain.com">otherdomain.com</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My entry currently reads:</div>
<div>sip IN CNAME <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://sip.otherdomain.com">sip.otherdomain.com</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But my DNS server isn't resolving it. It just returns a
list of root nameservers. <br>

Are you *just* getting a list of root nameservers (i.e. a totally
*empty* Answer Section)? What RCODE is being returned? Or, are you
perhaps getting the CNAME in the Answer Section? If you're getting
the CNAME, then that's all another nameserver needs in order to
resolve the name.<br>
<br>
Or, were you expecting that your authoritative nameserver would be
performing recursion for clients?<br>

<div>I've searched this mailing list and found threads that said
this should work. But also saw a post that said this isn't
allowed (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

I couldn't see the incorrect answer, to mock it, since it's behind a
paywall.<br>
