Are there any problems/issues with removing the forwarders statement in my gateway's named.conf??
After upgrading my potato box's version of bind I apparently lost contact with my ISP's DNS machines. With their being unavailable over the weekend and my needing the contact, I simply removed the forwarders statement found in the /etc/bind/named.conf file with the hope that named would find other servers. (I had noticed a number of listings in db.cache, which was listed as a hint zone in the named.conf file.) I made this change based on reading some of the documentation, but without a complete understanding of it or the consequences. Things now seem to work, but I am concerned that I might be doing something wrong. Can anyone comment one way or the other? I don't want this set up incorrectly or insecurely. TIA, Kenward -- It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
