startup, boot vs manually

[Benarson Behajaina]

Hello,

I'm running BIND 9.1.0 on Linux 2.2.16, SuSE 7.0
I have problem with BIND run from boot  ( /etc/rc.d/named )

- When named is starded at boot time, my name server
could not determine IP addresses of hosts which are not in my zone
i.e. hosts not in /etc/domain/company.xy

e.g: nslookup myhost.mydomain (works)
e.g: nslookup www.cisco.com (doesn't work)
but  ping 198.133.219.25 (works)


- When I restart the named (manually) with the following command:
/etc/rc.d/named stop
/etc/rc.d/named start

everything works fine.

So, what's is the difference between starting BIND
at boot time and manually ?

Any help would be appreciated,
