// Copy this file to /etc/bind/named.conf if you want to run bind as a
// recursive DNS resolver. If you want to run an authoritative nameserver
// instead, see /etc/bind/named.conf.authoritative.
//
// 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. The example configuration herein
// provides a starting point for running a recursive resolver.
//
//
// *** IMPORTANT ***
// You should note that running an open DNS resolver (that is, a resolver which
// answers queries from any globally routable IP) makes the resolver vulnerable
// to abuse in the form of reflected DDoS attacks.
//
// These attacks are now widely prevalent on the open internet. Even if
// unadvertised, attackers can and will find your resolver by portscanning the
// global IPv4 address space.
//
// In one case the traffic generated using such an attack reached 300 Gb/s (!).
//
// It is therefore imperative that you take care to configure the resolver to
// only answer queries from IP address space you trust or control. See the
// "allow-recursion" directive below.
//
// Bear in mind that with these attacks, the "source" of a query will actually
// be the intended target of a DDoS attack, so this only protects other networks
// from attack, not your own; ideally therefore you should firewall DNS traffic
// at the borders of your network to eliminate spoofed traffic.
//
// This is a complex issue and some level of understanding of these attacks is
// advisable before you attempt to configure a resolver.
