I guess I should explain the assumptions I made. I assumed that you have
internal nameservers for you're domain that are not listed as
authoritative with InterNIC. I also assumed that you have already set up
an internal *root* nameserver situation that will spoof the internal
servers into believing that they are authoritative for the domain even
though they cannot, or you don't want them to, communicate with true
Internet root nameservers. What I have just explained is what I and many
other people have setup.
The difference I saw was this: You are using you're internal *root*
nameserver to resolve queries. The internal *root* should not have host
data in it and should not be used to resolve names. It should run with
references to the internal nameservers and be listed in these internal
nameserver's root.db (or root.cache) file. No client should be using it
for name resolving; they should use the other nameservers that you have
setup as primary and secondaries.
If my assumptions are incorrect let me know.
Also, it may be that you have confused the terms 'root' and 'primary'
when it comes to nameservers. Please check to see that this is not the
case.
