Hi Mugo, Whether chroot or not, I believe Bind forwarding works the same whether you have public DNS or not. This should be configured under the options {} in your named.conf depending on your requirements. Something like this where x.x.x.x is not necessarily a public DNS in your case. options { forwarders { x.x.x.x; x.x.x.x; }; }; If you are considering forwading for only certain requests, you can setup zone forwarding in your named.conf zone "mugo.co.ke" { type forward; forwarders { x.x.x.x; x.x.x.x; }; }; Regards, David.

Hello Skunks.
Quick query about running BIND in the chroot (jailed) environment.
In earlier versions, we used to have forwarders i.e. Pulic DNS Servers configured in named.conf
Now I have successfully set up the same in RHEL 7. Lookup works okay yet I cannot figure out how the setup is forwarding some requests.
I have no Public DNS entries in neither the ethernet conf file nor resolv.conf
Where is the forwarding happening ?
