BIND 8 forwarding question

Actually, Paul, it should work once everything's set up, if I understand
what you want to do correctly.  Let me see if I've got it:

- You want your forwarder to resolve Internet domain names iteratively
(by working its way down from the root name servers)

- You want your forwarder to resolve mentorg.com domain names
iteratively by working its way down from the internal mentorg.com
name servers, at 147.34.22.13, 147.34.96.122, 137.202.21.21 and
137.202.93.16.

Is that right?

If that's the case, delete the "forward" and "forwarders" substatements
from your stub zone and make sure the name server is able to look up
mentorg.com's SOA and NS records from those four name servers.
If it is, this should be working.
