[MaraDNS list] Configuring MaraDNS and Deadwood to work together

[Harlan H. Bloom]

Hello, 
I'm working on upgrading MaraDNS to the latest version that Sam put out recently. 

I can use MaraDNS to either access my internal domain or I can use Deadwood to access the internet, but I'm not sure how to get them to play nice together. 

When I dig @127.0.0.1 ns1.vpn (internal address) it responds correctly. When I dig @127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com, I get back the usual response when MaraDNS can't find the address. 

However, when I dig @127.0.0.2 ns1.vpn, I get back the usual response from Deadwood that it can't find the address. When I dig @127.0.0.2 www.yahoo.com, it responds correctly. 

I tried putting the root servers configuration into the mararc file; that didn't help MaraDNS find an internet address when did the dig command. 

I'm sure that I've got the configuration files messed up somehow. Mostly, I'm using the "stock" config files, with my internal address put into the /etc/maradns directory and the mararc file pointing the correct file. Like I said, looking up the internal addresses is working just fine, even for the CNAME records. I've tried Googling and even reading several MaraDNS documents, so far without any success. 

Any ideas or suggestions? 

Thanks, 

Harlan...
