for their help and input.

My master must have just failed to load the domain correctly (and a local
BIND "expert" gave me the incorrect answer I cited so vociferously, by way
of ducking blame ;-) ).  According to several, hiding the master in a
behind-a-firewall config is pretty standard, and if I get the
nonauthoritative answers from a server I had config'd to be the master,
I've either not done it correctly or the zone simply failed to load
correctly for some reason.  So...what I want to do should work, given that
I'm not using dynamic updates.

Thanks to all for the clue-by-four to the head, I obviously knew a lot less
than I thought I did (hardly a rare occurrence).
