Stub zones can be used to eliminate the need for glue NS record +in a parent zone at the expense of maintaining a stub zone entry and +a set of name server addresses in named.conf. +This usage is not recommended for new configurations, and BIND 9 +supports it only in a limited way. +In BIND 4/8, zone transfers of a parent zone included the NS records -from stub children of that zone. This meant that, in some cases, -users could get away with configuring child stubs only in the master -server for the parent zone. 4/8, zone transfers of a parent zone +included the NS records from stub children of that zone.

9 master serving a parent +zone has child stub zones configured, all the slave servers for the +parent zone also need to have the same child stub zones +configured.

Stub zones can also be used as a way of forcing the resolution +of a given domain to use a particular set of authoritative servers. +For example, the caching name servers on a private network using +RFC2157 addressing may be configured with stub zones for +10.in-addr.arpa +to use a set of internal name servers as the authoritative +servers for that domain.
