Would someone mind being a little more specific for us less
knowledgeable here.

I run a Raq4 as primary DNS and a Qube2 as a secondary DNS server.  

Which file should I change and how?  Should I allow recursion between
the two machines only or also allow between me and my ISP's.  Also I did
a search and I see that I can allow recusion for a netmask
(192.168.0.0/26) is this a good idea?

Thanks,
