Hello

I'm running Bind 8.2.2-P5 on a Sun Ultra 5, with Solaris 7.
Configured as master for a few 'internal' domains and slave for
a few more 'internal' domains. This works fine so far.
I tried to set up a forwarder for another internal domain,
which does not allow zone transfers.

This does not work. I get following:

Jan 12 15:49:12 dns001 named[164]: reloading nameserver
Jan 12 15:49:12 dns001 named[164]: /etc/named.conf:59: syntax error near forward
Jan 12 15:49:12 dns001 named[164]: no type specified for zone 'firm-internal.com'
Jan 12 15:49:12 dns001 named[164]: zone 'firm-internal.com' did not
validate, skipping
Jan 12 15:49:12 dns001 named[164]: /etc/named.conf:64: syntax error near '}'
Jan 12 15:49:12 dns001 named[164]: Ready to answer queries.


That's how the it looks in the named.conf file:

zone "firm-internal.com" in {		//  <- line 58  (my comments)
	type forward;
	forward only;
	forwarders {
     	10.41.8.91;				//  <- Intranet  Name Server
	};
};


And the global options on top of the named.conf file:

options {
	....

	//
	forward only;
 	forwarders { 164.128.36.34; };	//  <- ISP Name Server
	//
	directory "/var/named";
};


What am I missing? Thanks for any hints.

Thomas
