Hi,

We have internal DNS master servers of zone "toto.com" (example) which  
are also ROOT servers, they don't see Internet.

These servers also forward requests to external (suppliers) DNS servers.

zone "session.rservices.com"    { type forward; forward only;    
forwarders { 155.195.48.4; }; };

Now, we also have sub-zone delegation for aa.toto.com (and  
bb.toto.com, etc) to other DNS servers internally, that know of our  
ROOT servers.  They have the same forward in their named.conf, of  
course it works.

How do I keep the forward only on the ROOT servers, and make the other  
DNS servers forward the request to them for it ??

We have servers with versions 9.2.4, 9.3.1, 9.4.1 and 9.4.2.  On the  
masters we are in 9.4.1.

Thanks,

R.
