I'm pretty sure I'm on the right forum but if not please let me know and I will move the thread. So I have a question about a DNS server with recursion turned off and DNS clients. So according to this site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775637%28WS.10%29.aspx the DNS Server can respond with a referral answer. Now my question is how does a Windows Server 2008 R2 DNS client handle these referral answers? Does it take the RRs and attempt to query them? If so is there a way to control how/when it attempts to use the referral answer? Is it always off? What is the default? Thank you for any help.

Hi, Regarding the DNS working principle, it is better to ask in the Windows Server forum.
