Hi.

When I query my dns servers internally and directly from outside I get

[macgre at topnz15209-linux ~]$ dig @202.a.x.y mydomain.nz

; <<>> DiG 9.7.2-P3-RedHat-9.7.2-1.P3.fc13 <<>> @202.a.x.y mydomain.nz
; (1 server found)

When I query against opendns and google's public servers I get

[macgre at topnz15209-linux ~]$ dig @8.8.8.8 mydomain.nz

; <<>> DiG 9.7.2-P3-RedHat-9.7.2-1.P3.fc13 <<>> @8.8.8.8 mydomain.nz

why are

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
mydomain.nz.	86400	IN	NS	mcvpdns01.mydomain.nz.
mydomain.nz.	86400	IN	NS	drvpdns01.mydomain.nz.

missing ?

We a have users complaining that they cant resolve out dns servers,
and thus can't do lookups for services.

Our version of bind is 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_5.3

Thanks
