STRANGE ERROR MESSAGE

[Kevin Darcy]

Your forwarding doesn't appear to be working. Check your configuration and try
generating some queries from the command-line of your server, using e.g.
"dig", pointed at your forwarder, to try and pinpoint the source of the
problem.

Oh, and please don't post hundreds of log file messages. We got the gist after
the first dozen or so...
