Why does BIND forward lookups for RFC1918 addresses by default? Why isn't the default not to forward RFC1918 addresses (and martian addresses). If a sysadmin is using BIND in a local network which uses RFC1918 address, those sysdmins can change their configuration?
RFC1918 space is space you can use inside of an organization in the same way you could use non-RFC1918 space. If a program would treat it differently that would only make sense if that program could only be used in such a way that it would *have* to treat it differently. Regards, JP Velders
