Re: woody - bind - hint or forwarders

[Rcca <rcca@laurel.hu>]

Use the "forward first " statement

Bind will ask the nearest name-servers ( in the "forwarders" statement) to resolve the names.
The ISP-s name server may have more resolved requests than your.
If the forwarder hasn't the address your server will resolve it.


It works well by us for years.
