hi, suggestion, configure your named.conf to resolv your local ip and at the same time use it as a forwarding server. all you need now is 1 instead of two dns servers to service all your queries. i'm currently using this scheme right now, and it works. if you need a sample config, jst let me know and i could send it to you.
