Hi all.

What determines whether a DNS server will answer a query
authoritatively, or not?

I have two DNS servers on private networks serving their private domains
as "master" servers according the named.conf.  One responds
authoritatively within its own domain, and the other always responds
with this warning line:
------------------------------
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.domain.com
Address:  aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
------------------------------
I cannot see what I have done differently!

Regards,
Patrick.
