No subject

dealing with the above. Relevant bits of my /etc/named.conf:

  options {
    directory "/usr/local/named";
    forwarders { firewall-IP-address; };
  };

  zone "." IN {
    type hint;
    file "named.cache";	// internal roots
  };

  zone "mydomain.com" IN {
    type master;
    file "master/forward/mydomain.com";
    forwarders {};
  };

  zone "site.mydomain.com" IN {
    type master;
    file "master/forward/site.mydomain.com";
    forwarders {};
  };

  zone "wins.site.mydomain.com" IN {
    type forward;
    forward only;
    forwarders { NT-WINS-DNS-Server-IP-Address; };
  };

Some explanations:

- Only the BIND 8.2.2 server is allowed to send DNS queries to the
firewall, and there's no hope to change that.
- there is a proper delegation for wins.site.mydomain.com in
site.mydomain.com (both A and NS)
- the MS DNS/WINS NT server master for wins.site.mydomain.com is in the
site.mydomain.com subdomain (no chicken and egg)
- there are BIND 4.9.3 + noforward patches slaves for site.mydomain.com

The problem:

- an nslookup from the BIND 8.2.2 server for host.wins.site.mydomain.com
does not return anything
- an nslookup from any of the BIND 4.9.3 + noforward patches slaves for
the same host works okay.

Before anyone asks, I have also tried the following:

  zone "wins.site.mydomain.com" IN {
    type forward;
    forwarders {};
  };

without success.

I'd really appreciate some help here...

Thanks in advance,

PYD
