I have our ISPs DNS server(TW Roadrunner) set up as forwarder for our
2003 server DNS. I have disababled recursion by default and I get
below. I dont want to use recursion for security reasons. What can I
do at my end to resolve this without using recursion. I always thought
that was only for the root hints- must have been wrong

Regards

All forwarders MUST support recursion, do just a the event says, remove the
server from the forwarders list. You do not have any control over whether it
supports recursion or not, but you do have control over whether you use it
as a forwarder. Either contact your ISP to get a DNS server that supports
recursion to use as a forwarder, use another DNS as a forwarder that
supports recursion, or completely remove the forwarder and clear the check
box on the forwarders tab "Do not use recursion for this domain"

If you have disabled recursion on your server on the Advanced tab, it (your
DNS)cannot be used as an Internet DNS resolver by your clients because it
will only resolve names for which it owns in its zones.
