forwarding zone on BIND 8.2.2-P5

I am trying to setup a forwarding zone for both forward and reverse
records with BIND 8.2.2-P5 on Solaris 2.6. (We want the requests to be
forward only; we do not want to act as a secondary for the zone).
I can verify by snooping the network connection on my name server that
the request for "A" records is being forwarded to the real name server,
but when I try to resolve an IP address into a name I get "non-existent
host/domain", and there is no traffic between the name server and the
server the request should be forwarded to.
(I am experimenting with this on a "dummy" name server that only knows has
an entry for itself and the zone I am trying to forward)>
Here is part of my named.conf file:
//
// Zone CS.Gsu.EDU
//
zone "CS.Gsu.EDU" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders {
131.96.22.199; // turing.cs.gsu.edu
};
};
//
// Zone 22.96.131.in-addr.arpa
//
zone "22.96.131.in-addr.arpa" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders {
131.96.22.199; // turing.cs.gsu.edu
};
};
This is the transcript of an nslookup session:
{0}evoken:/usr/local/etc# nslookup
Default Server: ns2.Gsu.EDU
Address: 131.96.1.6
> server evoken
Default Server: evoken.gsu.edu
Address: 131.96.32.182
> tinman.cs
Server: evoken.gsu.edu
Address: 131.96.32.182
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: tinman.cs.gsu.edu
Address: 131.96.22.43
> 131.96.22.43
Server: evoken.gsu.edu
Address: 131.96.32.182
*** evoken.gsu.edu can't find 131.96.22.43: Non-existent host/domain
>
Like I said, from snoop I can see a communication between evoken and
turing.cs when I try to resolve tinman.cs, but I see no communication when
I try to resolve 131.96.22.43.
I do see a rather cryptic message in my logs:
May 12 15:37:03 evoken named[1961]:
XX+/131.96.32.182/43.22.96.131.in-addr.arpa/PTR/IN
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong ?
thanks
