// Copy this file to /etc/bind/named.conf.options if you want to run bind as an // authoritative nameserver. If you want to run a recursive DNS resolver // instead, see Ventz's "example-configs/recursive-resolver/named.conf.options" // // BIND supports using the same daemon as both authoritative nameserver and // recursive resolver; it supports this because it is the oldest and original // nameserver and so was designed before it was realized that combining these // functions is inadvisable. // // In actual fact, combining these functions is a very bad idea. It is thus // recommended that you run a given instance of BIND as either an authoritative // nameserver or recursive resolver, not both.
