I don't think this applies to bind 4.9 but I just struggled with
this same issue myself. The problem I was having was that I needed
to turn off forwarders in my master zone.
zone "wmi.com" {
type master;
allow-update {
key DHCP_UPDATER;
127.0.0.1;
192.168.1.9;
192.168.1.18;
};
file "wmi.com";
forwarders {};
};
It seems forwarders override delegations. At some point I'll break down
and
turn forwarders off globally.
