named - Is It Possible to Forward Requests for One Domain to Another Server?
In my home network, I have named running to resolve machines on my LAN. It is also configured to forward requests to my ISP for all other queries. On another machine in my LAN, I used mpd to create a vpn connection to my work and set appropriate routes so that any machine on my LAN can access any machine at my work over the vpn (using mpd's nat function). This works when accessing via the IP address. Now I'm trying to get DNS resolution for machines at work. Is there some way I can tell named to request DNS info for my work domain from my work's DNS server available over the vpn? Does this make sense?

Yes, it makes sense. What you're looking for is a forward type zone in
named.conf, like
zone foobar.com {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { ip_of_work_dns_server; };
};
I'm not sure if I got the syntax 100% right.
Also consider that this might interfere with the setup of the VPN, if
you're using DNS names in the configuration, as named will not be able
to resolve hosts in foobar.com without being able to reach
ip_of_work_dns_server.

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your reply. That was what I needed.
