Re: [CentOS] BIND and a second server resolving itself

On Friday 07 October 2011 06:25, the following was written:

In the named.conf, located on main.example.com, I am adding my entire 16 IP block of addresses along with my localhost options { allow-recursion { localhost; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /29;}; allow-query { localhost; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29; }; };

Maybe I am missing something here but if you are only allowing your entire 16 block to query/resolve on your DNS server why are you even running a DNS server? Sounds like an over kill to me. Why not just setup the resolv.conf file to use your Datacenter, Google or some other open DNS server to resolve for YUM?
