hello,
for a similar setup (forwarder + master for a local domain), i use the
following lines in /var/named/etc/named.conf:
.......................................................................
zone "." {
type forward;
forwarders { 62.4.16.70; 62.4.17.69; };
};
zone "localdomain" {
type master;
file "master/localdomain";
};
zone "10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "master/localdomain.rev";
};
.......................................................................
where "62.4.16.70" and "62.4.17.69" are my ISP's DNS servers, "localdomain"
is the name of my local domain and 10.0.0.0/8 are the corresponding IP
numbers.
/var/named/master/localdomain contains "A" records for "localdomain" and
/var/named/master/localdomain.rev contains "PTR" records for "10.0.0.0/8"
