I need some help about BIND

Hello everybody,

I have some problems with BIND 9.2.2. A few days ago, I installed bind
binaries under Unix Solaris. I created all files which BIND needs to
run, like db.127.0.0, db.mydomain.com, db.network-addr, etc.

Now it's running quiet well, but I stille have some difficulties with
its configuration. The server reponds to his name, ip address,
loopback address and 127.0.0.1 (with nslookup command). But when I
look for a name of one of my machines (without the name of the domain
at the end), I've got some times the message saying that Non-existent
host/domain; and some times I've got the message like :
.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (from A to E for example).

I have another problem. I already have in my internal network another
DNS server. So I would like that the BIND just forward all of the DNS
queries that it received to that first DNS server. I tried to do this
with these commands (forward only, and forwarders {} in options
statement) in named.conf file, but without success.

Someone can give a hand, or advice me something ? 

Any idea will greatlly appreciated,

Bye,
Guy-Omer.
