Dear Barry!

Please, excuse me, but I feel that you are wrong.

First, when DNS keeps a zone the search order begins from its own zones. If domain does not belongs to this DNS server tries to use forwardes. If forwardes does not answer or return negative answer, DNS server forwards request to Root servers using "root.hint" file. In any event I got accustomed to think so. That is forwardes have lower priority in comparision with own zones. Whed Bind sees united-networks.ru in tail of "bla-bla-bla.unted-networks.ru" it begins to look for that bla-bla-bla in "united-networks.ru" file, doesn't it? And when it understands that there is a fact of zone delegation it decides to return to requester
the IP address of the next DNS-server. Am I wrong?

Second. If I use delegation for some zone the condition to keep the same zones as "slave" is not
obligatory. Or what type of the zone did you mean in your example? :-)

Third. You probably missed the fact that the same situation is simulated fine on neighbor server but with higher version of operation system (FreeBSD 9.0 in opposite to FreeBSD 7.2, and both are x64 systems). I think that certainly Bind on FreeBSD 7.2 doesn't work correctly! And I try to understand why - because this server in production as opptosite to test FreeBSD 9.0. I must to "win" this situation just on FreeBSD7.2.

Unconditionally I try what you recommended. But... It is still strange to me... :-)

Kind regards,

     Hello!

     I have FreeBSD 7.2 x64 installed. And Bind 9.4:

     /etc/namedb>  named -v
     BIND 9.4.3-P2

     I have zone "/united-networks.ru/" and I try to do the following:
     ...
     $ORIGIN sokol.msk.united-networks.ru.
     @                       IN NS   srvgate
     srvgate                 IN A    172.31.16.16
     $ORIGIN united-networks.ru.
     ...

     As I understand I delegated the SOA (IN NS) to server with name
     srvgate.sokol.msk.united-networks.ru ("srvgate" has no tailing "dot"
     so domain "sokol.msk.united-networks.ru" from $ORIGIN operator
will be
     appended), then I placed "glue"-record with srvgate.sokol.msk's
address.
     It is because as I understood nameserver of delegated zone is in it.

     From here I thought on the server 172.31.16.16 (it's Ubuntu) I must
     receive DNS-requests related to zone sokol.msk.united-networks.ru.
For
     example if I try do nslookup sokol.msk.united-networks.ru on FreeBSD
     7.2 x64. But:

     /etc/bind# hostname -f
     srvgate.sokol.msk.united-networks.ru
     /etc/bind# tshark -ta -ni tun0 -R dns
     Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
     Capturing on tun0

     ...there is nothing! And FreeBSD issues NXDOMAIN. I say more -
FreeBSD
     tries to resolve name "sokol.msk.united-networks.ru" through its
forwarder in
     external world!
When forwarders are enabled, they get used instead of following
delegations.  You need to add this to your named.conf to override the
forwarders for this zone:

zone "sokol.msk.united-networks.ru" {
   type forward;
   forwarders {};
};

     Where am I wrong? I simulated this situation with the same
configurations
     on Ubuntu (Bind 9.7.0-P1) and fresh-installed FreeBSD 9.0 x64
(Bind 9.8.1-P1).
     All works fine!
