BIND: Both recursion No & allow recursion active

A

Hi,
i am new to setting up bind. i have just set up bind9.6.1-P2 in FreeBSD 8.0 stable.
Some of the configs in named.conf are:
Code: 
options {
    directory "/etc/namedb";
    notify no;
    allow-recursion { internals; };
    allow-query { internals; };
    allow-transfer { xfer ;};
view "external" in {
    match-clients { any; };
    recursion no;
    additional-from-auth no;
    additional-from-cache no;. the same goes for external-chaos.
Named has warnings "both allow recursion and recursion no active for external and external chaos."
Which of my configuration in named.conf caused those?
TIA.
 
The recommended secure practice for running nameservers is to use two copies of BIND.

One box with BIND configured as a recursive resolver whose services are only available for your users.

Another separate box configured as an authoritative name server, publicly accessible.

BIND 9 has two utilities to check configuration files named-checkconf(8) and named-checkzone(8). What does named-checkconf(8) say about your named configuration file?
