I have two Centos 6 servers running BIND.
I have configured the two servers to run internal zones as a master / slave setup.
My gateway runs DNSmasq and I would like all other requests for lookups to be sent to the DNSmasq system.
I have added the following:
forward first; forwarders { 172.16.0.1; };
Where 172.16.0.1 is the host running DNSmasq.
For some reason I still cannot resolve anything outside my network.
Any pointers?
Your servers running bind should be able to resolve outside names with or without a forwarder if they have internet access. Are you sure /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to the right nameservers? Try using 'dig @resolver_ip some_name' to test both the dnsmasq system and your bind servers individually.
