So, if we want centralized management (would be nice), just setup
a master server with each seperate domain as a forward and reverse
zone, and setup all the the other servers as slaves to that master?
Why need so many slaves at all?
You can either just do away with them (point your schools to your
DNS server on the WAN) or have them resolve through to your Masters.
I'm assuming that this would only be if we are not forwarding on the
master? We don't want to forward to a forwarder, do we?
The concepts of masters are unrelated to forwarding. They're
unrelated to being authoritative as well, though that's not always as
obvious.
DNS is a recursive system. Just about everything needs to forward its
requests to something else, unless you have a very, very small DNS
universe. Using forwarders just defines where you send your requests.
If you've got forwarder's defined then all the requests that the
current DNS server isn't authoratative for, or aren't currently
cached, will get sent to the forwarders for further resolution.
