Re: Nameserver scenario with advertisers and resolvers



Sorry, but here is another question, if I have my resolvers setup correctly,
which I do, I setup forwarders to the public DNS servers of our ISP, and left
the root hints. Now when I setup my internal DNS servers to query my
resolvers, what configuration should I use for internal DNS? Should I
disable root hints? And exclusively use the forwarders?

Thanks
Joe
