We have 2 intranet DNS servers that point to our 2 internet DNS servers as
forwarders and we have noticed that if we have problems with our Internet
connection that the intranet DNS servers are unresponsive. In one case we
got the following errors and had to restart named:

In another case the intranet DNS servers would not even reply to internal
DNS queries or for anything in it's cache. I read in the "DNS and BIND"
book (fourth edition - p. 334 Single point of failure) that this should not
be the case and that they should reply to anything they have in their cache
or that they are authoritative for. Could they just be too busy trying to
reply to internet DNS queries that are taking longer than usual? Is there a
better way to set this up??
We are running BIND 9.1.3 on HPUX 11.0.
