Use the `show rpz_recursive_only`** <**`view_name>` command <span style="color: #000000"> </span>to view whether <span style="color: #000000">NIOS RPZ zones are used instead of local RPZ zones to </span><span style="color: #333333">block records with private IP addresses from being queried by external users. This command is available only on the Gird Master. </span>

For information about changing the setting, run the <span style="color: #0000ff">[*set rpz_recursive_only*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35821661)</span> command.

# Syntax

`show rpz_recursive_only <view_name> [zone_name]`

| **Argument** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| view_name | DNS view to which the RPZ zones belong. |
| zone_name | NIOS RPZ zone name to be used |

The command can return the following output values:

- `none`: Denotes that the setting applied earlier will continue to apply.
- `yes`: Denotes that <span style="color: #000000">NIOS RPZ zones are used instead of local RPZ zones to </span><span style="color: #333333">block records with private IP addresses from being queried by external users</span>.
- `no`: Denotes that <span style="color: #000000">local RPZ zones are used to </span><span style="color: #333333">block records with private IP addresses from being queried by external users.</span>

If you do not specify the zone name, the command displays the output for the DNS view only.
