Hi guys,

On Lab 6.4. Create a View, one of the example queries to the internal DNS view is:

But the domain theworld.example.com is never defined in the zone file for that internal view:

So why does the answer to the query provided by the exercise is 192.74.137.5? Shouldn't it be NXDOMAIN like my answer from below?

Thanks in advanced!

P.S.: All my other queries were the same as that of the table. This one was the only exception.

    I think the internal view has a default of recursive yes, and it should be recursive no like the external view. The IP address you highlighted is in fact the correct address for theworld.com.

    I added recursion no; to the internal view, restarted bind9, but the answer is still the same (NXDOMAIN):

    And on /etc/bind/named.conf.options, recursion is also set to no:

    Also, on the guided exercise from the guide, for the internal view, recursion doesn't appear as one of the options to add on /etc/bind/named.conf.local:

    What makes me raise an eyebrow is that when recursion is set to no, the answer from dig says that recursion is being requested. But when I don't specify it, no comment regarding recursion appears on the reply (I've double checked this)

    The recursion option is not consistent between CentOS and Ubuntu, this will get sorted next release. The ipaddress for theworld.example.com should be a failure. The ipaddress of192.74.137.5 belongs to theworld.com. The intent is to test the resolution on the different views.

    I tried dig theworld.com @127.0.0.1 but I get a status of REFUSED.

    Nonetheless, if the objective was to test the resolution on different views, then the job was done since I fully understood that. :)

    Thanks for the help again, Lee.
