<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">I am a teacher and trying to understand how dns works. I am spending hours reading various sources without finding satisfying information. For teaching purposes I have created a virtual machine with isc dhcp server and bind9 and another virtual machine that uses the first one as ics dhcp and dns server.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">I have disabled IPv6 by setting link-local: [] in netplan's setting.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">The name of the network (dns zone) is "reseau1.lan". When I "dig -4 reseau1.lan" the AUTHORITY bit is set to 1. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">Why or when should the AUTHORITY bit set to 1 ? What does it take for nslookup to give me an authoritative answer ? </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">If I "ping xxx.reseau1.lan" I get an NXDOMAIN answer. Why NXDOMAIN and not NOERROR (NODATA) ? The domain "reseau1.lan" exists and my dns server is authoritative for this zone (SOA record) but the computer "xxx" on this domain does not. Should I use a wildcard dns record ?</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">I have tryed to empty the list of forwarders and disable the dns cache ... should I configure a dns-resolver only for the domain reseau1.lan and then a dns forwared for external dns queries ? Or maybe configure the resolver for the lan network interface and the forwarder on the internet network interface on the dns server ?</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">I managed to get "AUTHORITY: 1" when typing "dig -4 soa reseau1.lan" by disabling the forwarders and the cache so I guess I should configure bind per network interface. But when typing "dig -4 pc1.reseau1.lan" the AUTHORITY bit is always set to 0.</div>
