well that's my problem with bind. once i cut myself to the internet i can't resolve all domain. i did this as a test i ping google.com first while i am connected to the net and then i disconnect my cable and try to ping it again but it can't resolve google.com anymore, my resolve.conf is "nameserver 127.0.0.1", and i don't know how to configure bind to cache domain's ip addressess at least 1 day or so.
