Bind not forwarding all requests

[Romgo]

Hello all,

I tried to add the forwarders in the root zone :

/etc/bind/named.conf:9: option 'forward' is not allowed in 'hint' zone '.'
/etc/bind/named.conf:10: option 'forwarders' is not allowed in 'hint' zone
'.'
So I really don't understand the behaviour...

Is there a bug tracker for Bind ?

Regards
