[ale] BIND and fowarding

[Benjie]

In your /etc/named.conf, under the options statement you can specify
forwarders.  These are the ip addresses of name servers that your
nameserver will forward queries on to.  Don't try to add nameservers
to the named.ca file.

//
// named.conf *what ever distro*
//
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
        forwarders {
                           205.152.0.20;  Bellsouth
                           192.168.1.2  ;  Somebody else
        };

        forward first;
};

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong,  its been a long time since
I have done this.
