The name server responds to recursive queries.

hi

I've tested my registered domain using the online tool from the domain register and I'm getting the following warning:

Warning: The name server 212.X.X.X responds to recursive queries.

I tried to change at the DNS (BIND9) server configuration.

I changed from:

recursion yes;

to:

recursion no;

but then the BIND doesn't answer DNS (nslookup) queries, so I changed back.

Shalom,

Add this section to named.conf
# Use real IP addresess

version "Secret!";
allow-recursion { trusted; };
};

acl "trusted" {
127.0.0.1;
206.119.205.150;
206.119.113.224;
206.119.113.54;
69.17.73.26;
69.17.73.116;
};

Make sure the IP addresses listed cover your internal network.
