📅 Original date posted:2014-05-30 📝 Original message:Hi Alex, I think the problem is with my suggestion to use bind forwarding.. basically bind is stripping off the authorative answer bit in the reply.. this causes the recursor to go into a loop chasing the authority server which again returns a non-authoritve answer with itself as the authority again. I'm not sure if this can be fixed without hacking the bind src, so maybe it wasn't such a great suggestion in the first place. Basically I think if bind was returning authorative answers it would work, but I can't see any way to make that happen in the bind configuration.
