<p class="MsoNormal"> Never has so little been said by so many? The OP asked:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">======<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">man pages for named.conf says "max-ncache-ttl <integer>" and only talks about default values and max values - no mention of minimum-value.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Does "max-ncache-ttl 0;" mean never cache negative queries (queries resulting in NXDOMAIN) or does it mean cache negative queries forever?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Too lazy to test this option or look bind code :), hence posting here - apologies in advance..!!

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> So far, all the postings I’ve seen just echo what he already said (and knows). The question is – what happens when you set it to ZERO?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> I’m wondering myself – anyone have a real answer?<o:p></o:p></p>
