I have set up a Bind-9.11 service (inside a jail). In doing so I
noted that the default named.conf file provided contains no less than
161 pre-defined zones that all point to:
/usr/local/etc/namedb/master/empty.db
These zones are prefaced with the following statement:
/* Serving the following zones locally will prevent any queries
for these zones leaving your network and going to the root
name servers. This has two significant advantages:
1. Faster local resolution for your users
2. No spurious traffic will be sent from your network to the roots
*/
So, what happened to the 'empty-zones-enable' and 'disable-empty-zone'
options? Why are these zones explicitly defined?
