Resolving an internal IP address for a domain from an external DNS server?

Hi Kevin,
first up thanks for the response!
Secondly the non-recursive query you asked for shows this:
> % dig +norec rd1.optiplex-networks.com
>
> ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2.1 <<>> +norec rd1.optiplex-networks.com
> ;; global options: printcmd
> ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Sorry for the bad explanation, literally what I want to do is this:
I would like to use my external DNS server located in another country
with IP address: 81.178.2.118 to be able to resolve local IP addresses
within my network. Currently I am using 192.168.1.0/24 network and mask
(CIDR notation) in my current location and have my radio server located
at IP 192.168.1.100.
Perhaps if I explain like this it maybe easier:
DNS server: 81.178.2.118 (remote machine)
Radio server: 192.168.1.100 (local LAN)
Laptop: 192.168.1.2 (local LAN)
I would like to resolve the domain name: rd1.optiplex-networks.com to
192.168.1.100 but using the DNS server located at 81.178.2.118 whose DNS
name is ns1.optiplex-networks.com
The issue is that I would like to use the same domain to resolve the
services I run in the network located at 81.178.2.118 which includes
mail, www....etc too. Meaning that www.optiplex-networks.com,
mail.optiplex-networks.com etc... all points to 81.178.2.118, but then
point rd1.optiplex-networks.com to 192.168.1.100!
For that I need to have a zone file which has the remote IP of
81.178.2.118 in it for all domains/subdomains also point a record to my
local radio server which is 192.168.1.100.
Currently I can resolve everything just the local IP and none of the
logging I've activated is telling me what's blocking the system.
I mean I need dig to show something like this:

>

for the domain rd1.optiplex-networks.com but in the answer section have:
rd1.optiplex-networks.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.1.100
Currently as stated previously I used to have 2 views at the remote
network; one for internal clients and one for external. Since I am
trying to patch in my new network to the old network I created another
view specifically for this new network.
The kiziltoprak view contains a master zone for this specific network
only rather then tying this into my external view as I want to keep each
entity separate.
I hope things make sense now??

Kaya
