I've set up a caching DNS on a Linux server which serves my LAN using
Demon's servers as forwarders - it works fine.  However, I can't seem to do
the same with NT Server.  I can get name resolution of the local machines
but not for external names.  I've quoted the forwarders in DNS manager but
get these results even when working on the server:

On DNS server whilst connected to Internet and Demon's DNS servers as
forwarders:
****************************************************************************
*

E:\>nslookup www.demon.net
Server:  menelaus.localdomain
Address:  10.100.100.1

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** menelaus.localdomain can't find www.demon.net: Non-existent domain

E:\>ping www.demon.net

Pinging www.demon.net [194.159.254.213] with 32 bytes of data:

Am I missing something or is it a limitation of NT and RAS?

Why, pray tell, would you want an NT DNS when you have a Linux DNS ?

It looks like your NT DNS has no notion of which zones its primary (or
secondary) for. Its assuming the domain it lives in is still 'localdomain'.
