	Howdy, we're running named 8.3.1-REL on 4 dns servers, 2 are BSD/OS
4 and 2 are Redhat Linux 7, (1 7.1 other is 7.2) I have noticed a unique
situation here. On the two linux servers, if I don't put anything in
resolv.conf, they wont do any recursive lookups for clients. (ie they wont
go out to the net to grab any names). In order to get them to do recursive
lookups I have to point the two linux dns servers at one of the BSD/OS dns
servers, this doesn't really make any sense. The layout is like this.

1 bsd/os (slave) .193.2
2 bsd/os (slave) 222.2
3 redhat 7.1 (slave) 222.3
4 redhat 7.2 (master) 222.4

If I just let #4 resolve with itself it wont resolve any names, the same
goes for #3. I have to tell them to resolve using 1 or 2 in order for it
them to do recursive lookups, and I cant really figure out whats going on.

Any ideas?
