Let's say your authoritative server is listening on IP-A, and your caching server is listening on IP-B; both ip-addresses are on the same host. We can have a named instance listening on both addresses, with multiple views like: /* Used by root .tld. */ view "authoritative" { match-destination { IP-A; }; recursion no; zone "my.authoritative.org" { type master; ... }; .... } /* Use by our client requests. */ view "caching" { match-destination { IP-B; }; recursion yes; zone "my.authoritative.org" { type master; ... }; .... } The "match-destination" inspects the DNS address used by the client to query to determine which view to use. Would this suit your purpose? -- Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck" - Curly
