RE: Receiving Timeout from DNS Server for a zone file Not present in named.conf

Does this nameserver have direct access to the Internet root nameservers? If not, does it have forwarding enabled? If the answer to both of those is no, then a timeout is the expected behavior; that's what you get when you try to query nameservers that you can't reach.
