[Cialug] More Fun with BIND

[Nathan C. Smith]

Has anyone used or had any success with forward zones?

I am trying to have my own DNS at home and use DNS at work over the VPN when
it is connected.
Here is the excerpt from my named.conf:

zone "otherdomain.com" IN {
        type forward;
        forward first;
        forwarders { 10.0.0.1; };
};

This syntax my be screwed up from all my attempts to make it work.  Should
it require a zone file?  Maybe there are other options I need to specify...?

In theory, as I understand it, This is supposed to redirect queries related
to otherdomain to the name server named in the forwarders section.  This was
a new feature from bind 8.2 up.

Thanks for any pointers.
