It should not be possible to do this just by adding a new forward domain to
your configuration.

This could happen if you added their reverse domain to your configuration,
so you're no longer going out to the ISP's nameservers when performing a
reverse lookup of your address.

Without more information, such as your IP address and the contents of your
named.boot file, it's quite difficult to help you.
