[Freeipa-users] separating authoritative servers from recursive servers

i have two bind instances in somewhat of a multi-master server 
arrangement, where they share the same ldap backend via 
bind-dyndb-ldap.  currently, they are authoritative and recursive 
servers, and i want to change things up a bit.  i want to move the 
recursive function to a third device.  for this, i believe i need to set 
a forwarder for the two current servers.  i believe i would do this by 
adding the idnsForwarders object (with value) on the OU that is the 
idnsConfigObject.

i am looking for a sanity check, to ensure that i am not overlooking 
something important.  are there any steps i am missing?  i want the 
current two instances to be authoritative for all my forward and reverse 
zones, and use the forwarder for all recursion.  the forwarder instance 
is already running, and is setup to answer queries from only the two 
current instances.  i think i just need to point the current instances 
to the forwarder instance, and turn off recursion on them.

thanks in advance,

brendan
