Thanks Jaap, but I do have a follow-up since no one responded to my last
question about root hints vs forwarders.

My understanding was that you can use either/or.

Meaning, if you use root hints, you don't need to use forwarders, but
more importantly, if you use forwarders, then the root hints _*are not
used*_.

So... is this true? Or can you expound on this?

Thanks...
