<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear all,<BR> <BR>Can bind support forwarding zone to another DNS server? In my testing, for loacl name servers, it can. But for authority name servers, it can't. <BR> <BR>I have a authorative DNS server which are authorative for the domain "test.com". I would now want the machine just forward all incoming queries for "test.com" to the 83.248.21.12 server. The named.conf is as follows:<BR><blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr">options {<br> directory "/var/cache/bind"; <br> version "none";<br> allow-recursion {"none";};<br> };<br>zone "test.com" in{<br>type forward;<br>forwarders {83.248.21.12;};<br>};<BR></blockquote> <BR>The name server (83.248.21.12) isn't registered, but is configured as a normal authority name server.<BR>The named.conf is as follows:<BR><blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr">options {<br> directory "/var/cache/bind"; <br> version "none";<br> allow-recursion {"none";};<br> };<br>zone "test.com" in{<br>type master;<br>file zone/test.com.db";<br>};<BR></blockquote>This is the test.com.db file content:<BR><blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr">$ORIGIN test.com.<br>$TTL 1W<br>@ IN SOA ns1.test.com. postmaster.test.com. (<br> 6 ; serial number<br> 3600 ; refresh [1h]<br> 600 ; retry [10m]<br> 86400 ; expire [1d]<br> 3600 ) ; min TTL [1h]<br>;<br> IN NS ns1.test.com.<br>www IN A 172.22.2.150<br><BR></blockquote> <BR>But the problem is that the any dns record can't be resolved when querying it for example <a href="http://www.test.com">www.test.com</a> A record. What's wrong?<BR> <BR>Reagrds,<BR>Guanghua<br><BR> </div></body>
