Configuration confusion

[HuMPie]

Hi,

Why don't you install a caching named server @home so you don't need the
ISP named server anymore and you can query the request by your own...

Subject: Configuration confusion


Here is the scenario:

We are behind a firewall on a NATted network.  Our ISP has a DNS server
that is used to resolve names to their internal equilavent.  We here at
the office are on the same domain, but we are using our own DNS with
additional information.  I do not have any sort of access to the ISP's
DNS server other than just standard queries.  Is there a way to set up
BIND 9 so that if a query fails on our server  it is forwarded to the
ISP's server?

Translation:

ISP has the following names set up on their server:

someserver1.ispdomain.com
someserver2.ispdomain.com
someserver3.ispdomain.com

We have the following names:

myserver4.ispdomain.com
myserver5.ispdomain.com
myserver6.ispdomain.com


I want to be able to keep myserver4, myserver5, and myserver6
configuration only on our server, but be able to have our server ask the
ISP's server if anything else for ispdomain.com is asked.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

NOTE:  I have added someserver1, someserver2, etc. to our list as a
work-around, but the ISP likes to change their IPs every so often
throwing our copy off.

Thanks in advance.
