That's vaguely scary -- you have two separate DNS that don't talk to each
other? One should (FSVO "should") be a secondary, pull from the primary.
Then you don't have this problem.

ObAnecdote: In 1992 or so, we got our first Internet connection (9600BPS
dialup, despite VP of Engineering asking, "Who would we talk to?"). I got to
set up DNS on VM. We had no DNS on our LAN, so I wanted to make VM the
primary. With a bunch of assistance from IBM, I finally got it working, but
I concluded then -- and still believe -- that I was the only site in the
world doing that. DB2 (then called SQL/DS) as the database.

Then we got a "realer" connection, and our ISP became our primary. I
followed the instructions for a secondary and it didn't work. Again, with
much assistance from IBM, we finally discovered that BIND wasn't following
the RFC for a TTL of 0 (I think; this was a loooong time ago, so don't hold
me to that).

Anyway, it was all quite the adventure. And a very long time ago, on a
planet far, far away.
