forwarding in bind 8.2 / txb

[Volker Dormeyer]

Hi there,

I upgraded one of our nameservers from bind 4.9.6 to bind 8.2. After some
tests I saw that the forwarding doesn´t work as expected.

It seems to me, that the server doesn´t try to contact the forwarder, because
nslookup immediately gives me NX domain back. I also tried it with bind t6b
and t7b - same result.

I use the following statements in the options section of named.conf:

options {
	directory "/var/named";
	forward only;
	forwarders { 10.0.0.250; };
}; 

Anybody who knows about it?
For now I use a hints file to do the same job, wich works fine.
