stub versus forward

[Armin Safarians]

I tried type forward and it also did not allow me. However I can do an nslookup and set my server to server ip or ip1, I can then lookup stuff or even do a ls -d (transfer).

I'm wondering if my global forwarder directive is not letting this take effect. The global forwarders are to our external dns. I thought local forwarders like such supersede the global settings.

This is the entry on the local bind server.
zone "subdomain.domain.com" {
        type stub;
        masters { server ip; server ip1; };
        file "filename";
};

I then try to resolve hostname.domain.domain.com and it did not work.

Thanks,
AMS :-)
