How can I get a machine named a.ie (which is a primary server for the ie domain) to forward a query such x.y.z.ie to another nameserver? I have a forwarder entry in my named.boot file. It works fine on a machine named a.b.ie because x.y.z.ie is found to belong to the y.z.ie domain and a.b.ie is not an authority for that domain so it forwards it on. On machine a.ie the query is found by the ns_req() subroutine to belong to the ie domain and a.ie is and authority for this and will not forward it on. Can anybody help me? We are running ULTRIX 4.0 ps: Does the ULTRIX 4.0 named use the "domain" entries in the named.boot file. What are "domain" entries for?
