My environment is firewalled from the real world.  For queries on zones to 
which I'm not master, I want to recurse to a corporate server.  nslookup 
some.internal.hostname.com internal.corporate.server works fine.  Setting "." 
to use this internal server in the root.hints file does not.  In fact I do not 
even see my system trying to recurse.  (I'm looking at network traffic with a 
sniffer.)
 
My root.hints:
 
.    600    IN    NS    internal.corporate.server.
internal.corporate.server.    600    IN    A    192.168.1.1
 
 
Alternatively I've setup a forwarding zone in named.conf to query 192.168.1.1 
for 'internal.hostname.com'.  When monitoring the network for udp data over 
port 53, I'm not even seeing the query being forwarded.  Why?
 
 
Thanks
