What is the purpose of setting a forwarders
option in a master zone?
In named.conf
, it looks like this:
zone "master.zone"
{
type master;
file "zones/master/zone/master.zone";
key-directory "zones/master/zone/keys";
allow-update {
admin;
};
forward only;
forwarders {
8.8.8.8;
};
};
I understand the importance of forwarders
and forward
options in a forward zone, but I don't get the utility to set them in a master zone.
Thanks.
