This section provides procedures to help you configure the DNS features of
Novell DNS/DHCP Services. The procedures in this section are:
"Configuring an eDirectory Server to Forward Queries to Root Name

"Configuring a Cache-Only Server" on page 85
"Configuring to Support Child Zones" on page 86
When you install Netware 6, the root server information is automatically
loaded into your system. No procedure is required to configure your system to
forward queries to the root name servers.
A cache-only server should be located between the clients that require address
resolution and any DNS name servers that communicate over the Internet.
Configure DNS clients to forward their queries to the cache-only server, and
configure the cache-only server to forward its queries to a DNS server (or
servers) attached directly to the Internet.
To configure a server to function as a cache-only server, follow the
instructions to create a DNS server in
page 76. After you have created the DNS Server object, do not assign any
zones for it to serve. Configure this server to forward its queries to a DNS
server
