If you run your own DNS server, you may want to instead use OpenNIC's DNS servers only for OpenNIC TLDs and use a DNS server that is closer to you for other domains. This also will allow you continue to use the ICANN root servers, so you can have full support for things like DNSSEC. == BIND ==Add these lines to your BIND configuration file:<pre>zone "bbs."
