Dear people there,

I have a problem to install bind8.2.3-REL on Solaris2.5.1/Intel86
as an upgrade from bind4.9.6-REL.   Its compilation was successful.
"/var/adm/messages" says as follows.

Using nslookup, I can get ip addresses as far as they are hosts in my
domain.   But if they are addresses outside my domain, I have an error
like this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** localhost can't find www.xxxyyyzzz.com: Non-existent host/domain
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is an example output from nslookup with a debug mode.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>www.cdnow.com

My named.conf is as follows.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
options {
# /etc/named.boot
# boot file for primary server

        directory "/var/named";
};

#
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};

#
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa";
};

zone "xxxxxx.ne.jp" {
        type master;
        file "xxxxxx.db";
};

zone "1xx.1xx.2xx.xxxx.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "1xx.1xx.2xx.xxx.in-addr.arpa";
};

Thank you for your any suggestion.
