forwarding 'almost all' queries to forwarder

[Frimpong, Jacob]

Can anyone help me with setting up a caching nameserver that would be
authoritative for my internal LAN, and simply forward everything it's not
authoritative for to a forwarder that can resolve real internet host. What I
need specifically is how to configure the NAMED.CONF file to serve this
purpose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: forwarding 'almost all' queries to forwarder



I have a caching nameserver that is authoritative for
a small set of bogus local internal-only domains, and
simply forwards everything it's not authoritative for to
a forwarder that can resolve real internet hosts.

We also have a separate internal .foo.net set of domains
that are visible internally only and that can be
resolved by a separate internal-only nameserver.

How can I point my nameserver for .foo.net to internal-only
nameserver 'B' while ensuring that all other queries,
including the rest of .net, go to external nameserver 'A' ?

Is there a simple way of tweaking named.conf to
get this kind of behavior ?

I'm using the latest bind 9.x.x on RedHat Linux if that
helps.

Any help would be appreciated....
