allow recursion on dns server?
Hello everyone. I'm not sure if I should allow recursion on our external DNS server. I just finished configuring the server and this is the last parameter I'm pondering over. We are an internet company and we rely on customers going to our website and our website is referred to on our external DNS. I would like to know how recursion will affect our customers and our internal network.
Please advise and elaborate.

I'm trying to configure a DG-UX server to be a DNS client (connecting to a Novell DNS server). I've configured /etc/resolv.conf to reflect the settings for the DNS server, but I don't know what else to do to get the server to resolve DNS names.
Any ideas? (2 Replies)

net::dns::resolver::recurse
Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse(3)
NAME
Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse - Perform recursive dns lookups
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse;
my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse->new;
DESCRIPTION
This module is a sub class of Net::DNS::Resolver. So the methods for Net::DNS::Resolver still work for this module as well. There are just
a couple methods added:
hints
Initialize the hint servers. Recursive queries need a starting name server to work off of. This method takes a list of IP addresses to use
as the starting servers. These name servers should be authoritative for the root (.) zone.
$res->hints(@ips);
If no hints are passed, the default nameserver is asked for the hints. Normally these IPs can be obtained from the following location:
ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root
recursion_callback
This method is takes a code reference, which is then invoked each time a packet is received during the recursive lookup. For example to
emulate dig's "+trace" function:
$res->recursion_callback(sub {
my $packet = shift;
$_->print for $packet->additional;
printf(";; Received %d bytes from %s
",
$packet->answersize,
$packet->answerfrom
);
});
query_dorecursion
This method is much like the normal query() method except it disables the recurse flag in the packet and explicitly performs the recursion.
$packet = $res->query_dorecursion( "www.netscape.com.", "A");
IPv6 transport
If the appropriate IPv6 libraries are installed the recursive resolver will randomly choose between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses of the
nameservers it encounters during recursion.
If you want to force IPv4 transport use the force_v4() method. Also see the IPv6 transport notes in the Net::DNS::Resolver documentation.
