Hi All,
I'm fairly new to configuring bind, so please bear with me.

Is it possible to have a name server that can resolve some hosts in a domain (say...all the UNIX boxes), but forward the query to a DNS server that has ALL company servers defined if the lookup fails?  The catch is that all servers are in the same domain.

My specific example is this:
When UNIX server A performs an nslookup of UNIX server X, my BIND server can answer.  However,
When UNIX server A performs an nslookup of Windows server X, my BIND server forwards the query to an alternate DNS server.

Thanks in advance!
