I have had a similar problem except I use Solaris 2.4.  The problem
concerns you having a root name server and a forwarder on the same
server.  When you have a root name server, the server will not forward
to another host.  What I did was to add all the 2.4 patches in the
Recommended Group.  I then created a top-level domain name server whose
"named.ca" file had the top-level domain name server instead of a root
name server in it.  (Without these patches you can only have a root name
server in the cache file.)  

hope this helps
