forwarders

[Steven Sakata]

I'm trying to set up a DNS server that does forwarding and I'm not having much
luck.  I'm using bind 8.2.3 on a Solaris 7 box (e.g., 10.2.254.118)  I have
added the following entry into the named.conf file (within the "options"
section):

forwarders {128.171.50.10; };
forward-only;

On, 10.2.254.118, I start up a snoop session listening for 128.171.50.10
packets.  When, I use nslookup, I do not see any packets, and nslookup
fails on resolving:

% nslookup www.yahoo.com
Server:  dns03.####.com
Address:  10.2.254.118

*** dns03sea.corp.cheaptickets.com can't find www.yahoo.com: Server failed
%

so I suspect that it's not even sending a query to 128.171.50.10

Am I misusing the forwarders entry?

Thanks, Steven.
