Title: TinyDNS - How to do selective forwarding
Post by: itck on August 28, 2007, 04:28:53 PM

Hi,
I'm using SME7.0 as DNS server.
I Need to make Selective Forwarding.
I Have doc to do it with BIND but how to do it with Tiny ???

BIND Config:

zone "provider.net" {
   type forward;
   forwarders {www.xxx.yyy.zzz;};
}

Sorry if this question has already been asked ... but did not find answer.

Thanks,

itck

tinydns doesn't do any forwarding of queries. tinydns is only an authoritative content server.

dnscache is used for recursive resolving. SME server software automatically configurres any required selective forwarding.

You only ever need to selectively delegate domains if SMEserver is configured to handle email or web for that domain, but DNS for that domain is handled by another local DNS server. In that case, you delegate using the domains panel of the server manager.
