Well, I tried to elaborate on our setup with an authoritative and recursor servers running on one machine. It is mostly because of the legacy. The company is in a small webhosting business and whenever clients register their domains through registrar's interface they add the names of our DNS servers as authoritative for those domains. On the other hand the company provides shared and collocation services and lots of client servers use same DNS IPs for recursive queries. That could be changed to a small extent running caching only DNS server on some of them but the majority of clients are reluctant to do any changes and this is why we have this mixed setup. Thanks anyways, Chat, for an open mind and coming back to my question.

Just making sure I'm reading that right. If so, I don't entirely understand your reasoning- if you could explain it again (in possibly a different way), we might be able to help you come up with a better solution to split authoritative vs recursive lookups so you're not mixing. Talk to you soon, sorry if I'm asking the same question twice- thanks! Chet On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 5:07 PM, Eugene Pefti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks, Alan! Unfortunately I can't set them apart. Lots of our clients use dns IPs to recursing and same IPs are added to domain name registrars registries. A thought came to me after reading your answer, if in my pdns.conf I allow recursion for my networks only does it mean that none of the questions asked by recursive servers will be answered by my authoritative server?

If you have clients asking the authoritative server for recursive data, then you're mixing them. The authoritative server should normally only be asked questions directly by recursive servers for data it's authoritative for. -- Alan _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users -- /* Chet Nichols III mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (aim: chet / twitter: chet) */
