Forward using hostname as node, not IP

Hi,

 

 

seems i needed to list my forwarding addresses in named.conf and enable recursion there too, and it's now working, which is great, thanks a lot guys. Should i have to add the forwarders in there though? i'd rather not if i don't have to, and the above exmaple doesn't. my name servers are listed in resolv.conf in linux land... can we just refer to them implicitly rather than explicitly listing them?

 

 

This raise a question I have in generally... If you guys are saying we need to do x, y or z outside of an irule to achieve this, is this not invalidating my commercial support with F5? Also the fact that I have had intimate changes to bind on each box is pretty invisible to anyone else. If i end up using these changes, i will naturally document them, but when i come to upgrade... all changes will be lost right?

 

 

Thanks again
