[cobalt-users] bind, forward only zones, and named.conf

[fjc <frank.combopiano@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a requirement to support a forwarding only zone -- I need names
resolved without zone transfers. I was able to get it working by adding
a type forward zone to my raq4's named.conf:

zone "forward-zone.com" { type forward; forwarders { 192.168.168.10; };
forward only; };

Which is all well and good, but I'm concerned that there isn't a
complementary entry in the /etc/named/records file which leads me to
believe that the first time I use the GUI for dns maintenance, my
forwarding zone will be trashed.

Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too? Is there a known format
for the records file? Is there a method within the GUI that I've missed?

Thanks!
