Hi Guys,

I am having a bit of trouble configuring BIND for Debian 'Woody'

What I need, is for my BIND machine to be used as a DNS proxy only, but when the forwarders are not available it needs to cache the last known IP address forever, until the forwarder is back online.
So when the forwarders go down, I can still resolve names to IP addresses. I realize using the hosts file would do this for me, but I need to be able to resolve dynamic IP's.

Currently, my named.conf file looks like this:

forwarders {
192.168.1.1;
};
//forward only;

This setup seems to only cache the last known IP address for about 15 minutes, then starts returning destination host unknown.

This is my first time trying to set up BIND, and I would really appreciate any help.
