Re: DNS config
You have to enable recursion to have your DNS server query other DNS servers on your DNS client's behalf, instead of returning references to other DNS servers for your DNS client to query (non-recursive).
You have to set the following under options in the bind configuration file (named.conf):
recursion yes;
Note however that enabling recursion exposes your DNS server to DNS cache poisoning and performance degradation.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: DNS config
Am I right to assume that this server is a
secondary DNS server?
If so you should have the primary DNS server
listed in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
It should ten go an look up the primary DNS
if it does not find it in either it's own
DNS entries or in it's local /etc/hosts file.
This will depend on how also your
/etc/nswwitch.conf file is configured.
Here is how I have mine:
/etc/resolv.conf
domain domain.com.au
nameserver 10.88.101.2
/etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=return TRYAGAIN=return] files [NOTF
OUND=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]

Re: DNS config
Another thought I had how I would set this up.
Your DNS (primary is set up on another machine)
Set up your /etc/resolv.conf file like this:
/etc/resolv.conf
domain domain.com.au
nameserver 10.88.101.2
/etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=return TRYAGAIN=return] dns [NOTFO
UND=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]
Note how the system is told to try and
resolve locally before attempting query on
the DNS server. You can of course of more
than one DNS server in which to query.

Re: DNS config
If this is true, then you can do following.
1. Identify the domain for another DNS machine (to whom you want to query) and put its name in db.domainname file in top entries.
you will then abler to quary another DNS as well as hosts designatred to that DNS server.
suppose your domain name is
xyz.com and the another dns machine's domainnane is ab.xyz.com then enter IP address and hostname of another DNS in db.xyz file of main dns.
That will work out.
Thanks,

Re: DNS config
NOTE: It is very impolite to use a forwarder without permission! Ask the person/company who maintains the server you will leach from!
