Fwd: Adding a Forwarding Zone (Bind 9.9.2)

[Charles Tryon]

OK, that's what I expected, but for some reason, it isn't working...  I
have those lines (with the correct domain name and IP address) in my
named.conf, and I restarted both the named and samba4 processes.

I made sure I deleted the "global.local" zone I'd created through the
command line, figuring that the empty zone there might override the zone
definition in the conf file.  That didn't help.

My test for the forwarded zone was:

    <samba:etc>? host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.global.local.
    Host _ldap._tcp.global.local. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I've also tried to "dig" or even "ping" a host name in the global.local
domain and I get no answer back.

One note is that this DNS server I'm trying to forward to is maintained by
our international IT group, so I have very little access into the server,
other than read-only viewing.  I'm wondering if there might be some
configuration or security setting on the server I'm trying to forward to
which is blocking the request.

(On a side note, I'm currently building from Amitay's branch to see if the
bug he fixed in the zone creation code will make any difference.)
