OK, thanks.
However, by default RD is enabled when querying probe's local resolver.
Yes, but I wanted to test public resolvers.
Also my experience is som resolvers ignore it;
My experience with public resolvers does not match yours: Google Public DNS: without RD, serves only the data in the cache (otherwise, if not in cache, NOERROR,ANSWER=0) OpenDNS: without RD, always REFUSED, even if data in the cache Level 3: like OpenDNS Comodo: like Level 3 and OpenDNS DNS Advantage: without RD, always timeout, even if data in the cache Telecomix: like DNS Advantage Regular Unbound: without RD, serves only the data in the cache (otherwise, if not in cache, REFUSED) Regular BIND: without RD, serves only the data in the cache (otherwise, if not in cache, NOERROR,ANSWER=0 but with upward referral)
