Thanks for your reply. That article is pretty self explainatory. I think that
I am starting to get it.
In the meantime I am now unsure of my understanding of forward delegations:
Is it right that:
1) In delegations "Parent" is the server on which delegation is created, and
"Child" is the server which holds the zone and performs resolution?
So if I had delegated a part of a namespace to server2(child), I would setup
delegation on server1(parent), and that delegation would only have (NS) and
(A) records to point to server2?
2) Parent does not direct queries from DNS clients to the Child,(to be
resolved by the child), but instead, provides clients with refferals for
iteration?
Anybody?
