Recursion fails on named 8.2.2-P5 running on Linux 6.2 platform

[eddie at maxis.net.my]

Dear fellows,
=20
Does anyone encounter recursion problem on Bind 8.2.2-P5 running on =
Linux 6.2 platform.  After I configured all the zone files, I only =
managed to resolve name for my own defined zone.  However, not able to =
resolve any hostname outside my network such as cnn.com, cnnfn.com.  The =
funny thing is I can PING to all the root DNS server e.g. 198.41.0.4 and =
there is no firewall blocking my server.

I'm very sure there is no configuration mistake.  I've tried it on Linux =
6.1, Linux 6.2, Mandrake 7.0 and Slackware not all failed at recursion.  =
I even re-compiled the BIND but no help.  Can anyone provide some clue =

Thanks in advance.

Here's my configurations:

1.  /etc/named.conf

options {
	directory "/var/named";

};

zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "named.local";
};

zone "maxis.net.my" {
	type master;
	file "maxis.net.my";
};
zone "129.75.202.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "129.75.202-rev";
};
