trying to configure forwarding

Hello!
I'm trying to write my own little name-server program. It seems to work
for local clients (tested by binding it to 127.0.0.2), and I'd like to
test it from the Internet.
Trouble is, I already run bind9 on my only public-IP and can not afford
to bring it down for long.
So I decided to use the "type forward", so that only queries about the
particular test sub-zone (say, T.my.domain), are forwarded by named to
my server.
Here are the two zones as configured on my machine:
[...]
zone "my.domain" {
type slave;
file "slave/my.domain";
masters {
151.204.231.237;
};
};
zone "T.my.domain" {
type forward;
forwarders {
127.0.0.2;
};
forward only;
};
[...]
Here is T's entry in the my.domain's zone file:
T 8640 IN NS aldan.algebra.com.
Unfortunately, when I try to `nslookup something.T.my.domain', my
little daemon does not get the query, but the main one on my machine
responds with `Non-existent host/domain'.
Any advice? Thanks!
