Forwarding problems and lame NS

[Hubert.QUARANTEL at DSI.VLY.sextant.thomson-csf.com]

Hi,

	I have problems with forwarding/recursion DNS request to my
enterprisewide DNS server from the site ones. I' using bind 8.2 under
AIX 4.2.1, HP-UX 10.20 and Solaris 2.6...
	In the sitewide named.conf file I have something like:


	options {
        	has-old-clients yes;
        	auth-nxdomain yes;
        	fetch-glue      no;

        	check-names master warn;
        	notify          no;

        	recursion       yes;
        	forward         only;
        	forwarders      {AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD;};
        	topology        {AAA.BBB/16 ;};
	};

where AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD is th IP address of the enterprise server (the
whole network is AAA,BBB.0.0)

the cache file is only:

	.				99999999	IN	NS	dns1.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com.
	dns1.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com.	99999999	IN	A	AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD

When I ask the server dns.PARIS.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com server to give me
the adresse of mail.LONODN.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com, bind 8.2 reply with a
SERVFAIL, it does not even contact the server
dns.LONDON.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com, in the log file of named.run (of
dns.PARIS......) I get the following information:

	nslookup(nsp=0x7b03b790, qp=0x400e0de8,
"mail.LONDON.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com")
	nslookup: NS "dns1.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com." c=1 t=2 (flags 0x11)
	skipping lame NS
	nslookup: 0 ns addrs total
	forw: nslookup reports danger
	ns_freeqry(0x400e0de8)
	free_nsp: dns1.ENTERPRISE.GROUP.com rcnt 2

   Does anybody know why dns.PARIS...... considers that
dns1.ENTERPRISE.... is a lame NS, although it never contatcs it ?
   How could I fix it ???


thanx for any help
