[cobalt-users] Bind Options in /etc/named.conf {Scanned}



I'm trying to put certain bind options in the /etc/named.conf file on a Raq4
but I don't want to have them deleted the next time we use cobalt GUI to
make any DNS changes. I've found this searching and was wondering what I
need to put in the namedoptions.conf file referred to:

open /usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi

goto line 1178

It should look like :
print NAMEDCONF "options {\n\tdirectory \"$Named_dir\";\n";

comment  out this line (use #) and add the following insted:

 print NAMEDCONF "options {\n";
        my $options = `cat /etc/namedoptions.conf`;
        print NAMEDCONF "$options";

What I'm trying to find out is what should I put in namedoptions.conf file
if I want to limit bind recursion?

Also, will this break anything with bind? We run primary DNS on this box so
we want it to still serve names to people outside our network (ie websites
we host or maintain DNS info).

Thanks
