color:#1F497D'>Well, I tried to elaborate on our setup with an authoritative
and recursor servers running on one machine. It is mostly because of the
legacy. The company is in a small webhosting business and whenever clients
register their domains through registrar’s interface they add the names of our DNS
servers as authoritative for those domains. On the other hand the company
provides shared and collocation services and lots of client servers use same DNS
IPs for recursive queries. That could be changed to a small extent running
caching only DNS server on some of them but the majority of clients are
reluctant to do any changes and this is why we have this mixed setup. Thanks
anyways, Chat, for an open mind and coming back to my question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I know you have a few issues you're trying to tackle- but
I'm going to try to focus on this one: ..you currently have people making
recursive lookups through your authoritative nameserver? Just making sure I'm
reading that right. If so, I don't entirely understand your reasoning- if you
could explain it again (in possibly a different way), we might be able to help
you come up with a better solution to split authoritative vs recursive lookups
so you're not mixing.<o:p></o:p></p>

Unfortunately I can't set them apart. Lots of our clients use dns IPs to<br>
recursing and same IPs are added to domain name registrars registries. A<br>
thought came to me after reading your answer, if in my pdns.conf I allow<br>
recursion for my networks only does it mean that none of the questions asked<br>
by recursive servers will be answered by my authoritative server?<br>

If you have clients asking the authoritative server for recursive data, then<br>
you're mixing them. The authoritative server should normally only be asked<br>
questions directly by recursive servers for data it's authoritative for.<br>
