    I use a "forward zone" with bind8, for a particular domain. My DNS is
authoritative for the domain xxx.yyy.com. I want to forward request for
domain yyy.com to DNS 192.168.18.1. I have a subdomain called
sub.xxx.yyy.com (NS record in named.xxx). When I want the name of a host on
sub.xxx.yyy.com domain, my DNS make a connection with the forwarder
(192.168.18.1), but not with the DNS for the subdomain. How is it possible
??

my named.conf:

options {
 directory "/var/named";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
 type master;
 notify no;
 file "named.127.0.0";
};

zone "xxx.yyy.com" {
 type master;
 notify no;
 file "named.xxx";
};

zone "200.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
 type master;
 notify no;
 file "named.192.168.200";
};

zone "yyy.com"
{
 type forward;
 forwarders { 192.168.18.1; };
};

zone "." {
 type hint;
 file "root.hints";
};
