external DNS

[Chris Buxton]

Add to your options statement in named.conf:

forwarders { 212.135.1.36; };

That way, when asked for anything your server doesn't already know,  
your server will forward the query off to the ISP's server. When the  
answer comes back, your server will cache it and forward the result  
back to the client.
