Confused about what utm-kid is saying...I started writing the following text

Quote:
I thought it was a bug the other day. I was testing an IP that was being blocked by opendns.com (which I use as forwarder). So I deleted the forwarders and when I queried the IP again, I got the same opendns.com error message.

Long story short, the problem is coming from caching. I looked at /var/chroot-bind/etc/named.conf and indeed the forwarders are removed when you remove them via webadmin. But the configuration is reloaded and bind is not restarted which means that cache is not flushed. I guess it can be classified as a bug.

You can observe the behavior by removing forwarders while looking at the dns logs and then clear cache while looking at the logs. Clear cache restarts bind completely.
Decided to start a seperate thread about the issue here but credit should go to utm-kid if that is what he intended to say.
