local dns - isp dns - forwarding?

[Ryan Moore]

You really don't have to do much.  I created a top level domain called
".local" for my internal network.  Bind sits on my gateway machine.

Sounds like you already have zone files for ".lanparty".  As long as your
maching running Bind has a real internet connection, just add something
like:

zone "." in {
        type hint;
        file "named.cache";
};

And get the named.cache file from ftp.isc.org.  Bind will go out and query
the root name servers for any domains it isn't authoritative for.

Don't use the 'forwarders' configuration option.  It isn't needed.
