Forwarding nameserver, help needed.

Hi

I'd be really happy if someone could help me here...

I'm trying to set up a forwarding DNS server using bind 8.2. But I
cannot get it to forward requests. My local domain is aalk.auc.dk, and
I want everything else forwarded. I have no problem looking up
adresses in my local domain.

This is my named.conf:
options {
	directory "/var/named";
	forward only;
	forwarders{
		130.225.54.2;
	};
};
zone "aalk.auc.dk"{
	type master;
	file "named.aalk";
};
zone "74.168.192.in-addr.arpa"{
	type master;
	file "named.192.168.74";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"{
	type master;
	file "named.local";
};
zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

named.ca is empty since I want to use forward only. I have followed
the instructions of: http://hjb-net.de/linux/named_e.html. (I also
tried to play with dnsconf, but no luck here either.)


If it can help you here's a little debug info resulting from starting
named and looking up sunsite.auc.dk:
