You need to put forwarders in your named.conf file:
options {
forwarders {204.127.160.2; 204.127.129.2; };
};
Then restart bind. This will tell you lan dns server to forward any dns
requests it doesn't know to another server that would.

You need to add an entry in /etc/named.conf to tell your name server where
to get info if it can't find it.
forwarders { 204.127.160.2; 204.127.129.2; };
This should fix the problem.
nslookup only loads one nameserver when you invoke it;
IE; [root@rehanna /root]# nslookup www.compaq

Yes, a non-privileged user should be created and used to to run
named. RH6.2 does, but default on new installs, create a user called
'named' and runs the named process as that user. There have been some
well-documented buffer overflow problems in named. Exploits to these are
automated and s
in the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/named it calls for named to start as:
named -u named
I am not sure how it worked in 6.1 but you might try changing the script or
adding a user named. I think I did not have a problem because i did a clean
install
Hope that helps
