primary forwarding requests to secondary

[Jobe Bittman]

Well I tcpdumped yesteerday when it was working. When I did an rndc reload 
cyberkeep.com on the secondary, n1.tns.net, I saw a packet go out to 
cyberkeep and a reply. When I tcpdump'd today now that it stopped working, 
when I do an rndc reload I do not see a packet going to cyberkeep. I dont 
get what could be causing this behavior.
