I have a LAN for my office. I use only one ISDN line
as the internet access for my LAN users. As the
gateway I use 1 machine. This machine (named "proxy")
has squid (as proxy server), BIND9 (as DNS server) and
SuSE Firewall 2.
As the operating is SuSE Linux 8.

Now, I want my BIND9 works not only for "caching
service" but also as DNS server for my LAN. So the
user machine can also use only name not always IP
number.

I have re-configured "/etc/named.conf" file and
defined my domain. my zone file is
"duisburg.lam-ag.zone".

I can launch my BIND9 but it works strange. it's
ridiculous because my BIND9 only knows the IP address
from outside of my LAN but not the IP address in my
internal LAN domain (duisburg.lam-ag.de).

Looks like my BIND9 can not understand my zone
definition list. But I don't know where the mistake.

Here is my "/etc/named.conf" and
"/var/named/duisburg.lam-ag.zone" files.

Please help me. I have this problem since a couple
months.

Thank you very much in advance.
