Firewall, split dns and the forwarders directive

[Palano, Joseph]

Barry,

	What you have said would make sense logically but I don't think it
agrees with page 385-386 of the "DNS&BIND" v3.  Could you please expand or
give me a reference.  This issue has been a hot topic for me and the rest of
the DNS "crew".  Thanks.
