First, if you're talking about the Microsoft DNS Server, I'd
suggest the newsgroup microsoft.public.win2000.dns.
This newsgroup and mailing list are specific to BIND.

Second, did you mean that you're forwarding to your
WINS server?  Unless your WINS server is running a
name server, too, that's not going to work.    You need
to forward to a name server (not a WINS server) that's
able to resolve Internet domain names and that will
accept recursive queries from the IP address of your
name server.  Or you can use normal, iterative name
resolution instead of forwarding.
