Root Hints not working When Recursion Disabled
Hi
I was studying about Root Hints , Recursion and Iterative Queries.
Microsoft 70-291 and Sybex 70-291 ebook states that
When Recursion is DISABLED on a Win2003 DNS Server , then DNS Server replies back to the DNS Clients with ROOT HINTS REFERRALS ( Root Hints pointing to the one configured on DNS Server )
I had tested the above mentioned Scenario using two SETS .
First Set - Win 2003 Sp2 DNS Server and Win Xp Sp2 DNS Client ( also tested using Win 2003 R2 Sp2 )
Second Set - Win 2008 R2 DNS Server and Windows 7 DNS Client
Recursion is DISABLED on DNS Server and each DNS Client points to its respective DNS Server. Root Hints and rest all Settings are left as Default.
With First Set , i don,t receive any ROOT HINTS Referrals Answers from DNS Srvr
With Second Set , i do receive receive ROOT HINTS Referrals Answers ( a total of 14 RRs pointing to the Root Servers configured at DNS Server Root Hints List )
Now if i try Win 2008 R2 as DNS Server and Win Xp Sp2 as DNS Client --- i still do receive Root Hint Referrals Answer from the DNS Server
So , i think problem is with Win 2003 DNS Server or mine Configuration
Guys , Help :cool2:
