A DNS that's part > of FreeBSD base would be much better for me. unbound was, is and always will be caching only server. That is what it is built for. nsd is the counterpart for the authoritative server. However based on certain cases like a local network some information might be served from a local file or imported by zone transfer. Look into auth-zone directive. Considering the fact that DNS servers are often the case of vulnerabilities it's difficult to update the dns server in the base rather than updating a port. So there is less likely chance of having a DNS server in base. > Thanks for everyone's help! > > bob prohaska > > > > > > > Named.conf has so many comments it's somewhat hard to read, but in some > cases more might still be better. > >> But then again I haven't used bind for a long time so cannot say much. >> >> Kind regards, >> Moin > > --Apple-Mail=_7FF38448-496B-4B8E-AEFB-75B87BCDCC5C Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEETfdREoUGjQZKBS+fvbm1phfAvJEFAmXRKgFfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDRE Rjc1MTEyODUwNjhEMDY0QTA1MkY5RkJEQjlCNUE2MTdDMEJDOTEACgkQvbm1phfA vJHrIw//TemncxWXEUb/xpZrXd+vhk5wUXuy2ATqUtiQ2sYr0M1m9n91PaQYhGce ODFFGbqzWUL8F44iWAtAYySIMXj28qlAOe5GSv1pnW8xEUeyE40oHw0EAr1/pwFk UF8QKpMMcDccbhSA0thWdVJHmegZXHNKbldzgCH3/yYIEqyuPwaObbeRB9As02qZ zOa7A4OhcLa0YskwMLty3cVBHhK8uS6178NP4A+OBdJrORRF+TQ+Agdzkc4+14Gl Am4BDTGY0DM3AUZw2XQ8qxljYyYAthFjtYA4MxT0unolYV62OD/Yyf3raE8mnwRk qojecPO2gQxj3NJfzhbd38RJ5Nn51HPjsZrVej7AUnbwehmtH6Va+m9fITUl70m5 9MqbACyRSQbQVr/Zy0sUKQUqet/DE6Lypw1XF7lTkZJO3ryBumzKrbBJc6zs/S72 zfjnt5SHuRdZtDGEZKFLW9PLkoW3HKh/qv6E+A+5u6i4QRnKOTVZN+Bt1XE+OelZ kGS5wEU3bOGXSY5FShuWdmrgTUB5a6bJ0F1ZtIHFkhhI4xwfpd0WoSIQTCAzfTn9 coiVR0CqbvmA4fpi218WhwydagLgZ8tD5FCCr3cLtKSlSKGfCGsR1KP0PtQdBCF9 R2gLYKtsQ873FSyJBcMGst5xlnATeDqQF+1XWYECGImwMM+UhW8= =dIYM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_7FF38448-496B-4B8E-AEFB-75B87BCDCC5C--
