Please try to come up with more descriptive Subject lines.  Almost all the
problems people post about are strange to them.

Are you sure the master server has the "forwarders" command in its
configuration?

The master server isn't configured as a root server, is it?

Does it have a hints/cache file?  Even though it's configured to forward,
BIND requires a root server list, and won't forward if it doesn't have one.
