Authoritative DNS with forwarding for some domains:

binddomain-name-systeminternal-dns

I'm setting up a bind DNS server.

Recursion is set to off and I have two zones defined:

zone "my_local_private_domain" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/named/zones/my_local_private_domain";
};

zone "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/named/zones/db.2.168.192";
};

What I want eventually is for this DNS to forward requests for other zones (for example a DNS resolution to www.google.com) to another server on my local network.

But when I set:

forwarders      { 192.168.2.my_other_DNS; };

It doesn't resolve:

nslookup www.google.com
Server:         192.168.2.193
Address:        192.168.2.193#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find www.google.com: No answer

Is it possible to define a zone that forwards a requests to another DNS?And if so, how?

Thanks,

See example in page 19 of BIND v9.11 documentation: you need to have a allow-recursion directive with some ACLs targeted to your internal users.
