Subject: [Dapper] Bind9 not recursing

       I've set up dns many times before. In each case, if I ran the 'dig 
  method' to get the latest set of root servers, I could look up anything 
  in the world. The server I have does a fine job of local resolution 
  (altavista.local, fahrlander.local, etc) but despite "recursion yes" 
  being in  named.conf.options, if it doesn't 'own' the records, it punts!

       Here's an example of what happens when I rely on the ISP's DNS, and 
  they TOO can't find it:

  root at hope:/etc/bind# host 192.84.16.27
  Host 27.16.84.192.in-addr.arpa not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
  root at hope:/etc/bind# dig 192.84.16.27

  ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> 192.84.16.27
  ;; global options:  printcmd
  ;; Got answer:

       Can someone please page the cluetrain?
  -- Hi Brian,

First let's have ARIN's look up:

OrgName:    8x8, Inc.   
OrgID:      8X8INC  
Address:    2445 Mission College Boulevard  City:       Santa Clara  
StateProv:  CA  
PostalCode: 95054  
Country:    US    
NetRange:   192.84.16.0 - 192.84.19.255   
CIDR:       192.84.16.0/22   
NetName:    8X8-NET  
NetHandle:  NET-192-84-16-0-1  
Parent:     NET-192-0-0-0-0  
NetType:    Direct Assignment  
NameServer: SVC1-EQIX-SJO.PACKET8.NET  
NameServer: SVC2-EQIX-SJO.PACKET8.NET

NameServer: SVC2-L3-SJO.PACKET8.NET

So that's where the IP comes from. Now how about more info:

# dnsqr any 192.84.16.27
255 192.84.16.27:
46 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror
query: 255 192.84.16.27
answer: 192.84.16.27 655360 A 192.84.16.27

This from tinydns which works much better than bind. What do you have for this with bind ?
