[Newbie] BIND8 Configuration

[Silvio Wangler]

Hello Kevin,

First of all thank for your hints.
The reverse lookup works now. --> host 10.10.10.1 --> sun.universe
But if I try a forward lookup --> host sun or host sun.universe it 
always receive <host not found>.
Btw. I am able access my ISPs DNS over IP Masquerading.

Any idea? Where is the problem? Thanks for your support.

Best regards

Silvio
