Question EL 5.x v.s. EL6.x | BIND Root Hint Referral Reponse List - DifferenceEl 5.x v.s. EL6.


We had explicitly disabled RECURSION on DNS Servers in Both cases, and set "minimal-responses no;" manually @ Global Option level.



Systems :- RHEL -> 5.2 (bind 9.3.4) | RHEL ->6.0 (bind 9.7.0)

Case 1) DNS Client -> RHEL 6.0 | DNS Server -> RHEL 5.2

[harmandeep@rhel-60-02 Desktop]$ dig @192.168.31.22 yahoo.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P2-RedHat-9.7.0-5.P2.el6 <<>> @192.168.31.22 yahoo.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Case 2) DNS Client -> RHEL 6.0 | DNS Server -> RHEL 6.0


[harmandeep@rhel-60-02 Desktop]$ dig @192.168.31.61 yahoo.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P2-RedHat-9.7.0-5.P2.el6 <<>> @192.168.31.61 yahoo.com

Now we can see that in CASE 1) , our DNS Server also provided names of the ROOT hints in response to DNS Client , whereas in CASE 2) it doesn't


So, it must be mostly due to an OPTION which is working in Case2) BIND Server as default , nlike in Case 1)
So any hint Guys



Regards
