True or False: A forward zone can be used with multiple forwarders to provide redundancy.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It's not possible
• D. Only if you also configure a stub zone

Answer: (A)

Forward zones determine where DNS queries for a domain are forwarded instead of being resolved locally. You can configure more than one forwarder for a forward zone. This provides redundancy: if the primary forwarder becomes unavailable or slow, the resolver can use another forwarder, keeping DNS resolution working without manual intervention. In Infoblox, the forwarder list is used to route those queries, and depending on the setup, you can achieve failover or balanced use among multiple forwarders. A stub zone is a separate mechanism used to locate authoritative servers for a zone and is not required to enable multiple forwarders for redundancy. So, queries can be kept resilient by design when a forward zone uses multiple forwarders.
