For some reason, BIND 9 (FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE) isn't properly forwarding 
queries.  A snippet of named.conf:

acl clients {
        localnets;
        localhost;
        ::1;      
        10.45.12/19;
};                         

view "internal" {
        match-clients { clients; };
        zone "5.0.10.in-addr.arpa" {
                type forward;
                forward only;
                forwarders { 10.0.5.16; };
        };
};


Now, I can query the forwarder directly to get the right answer:

$ dig +noall +answer -t ptr -x 10.0.5.16 @10.0.5.16
16.5.0.10.in-addr.arpa. 86400   IN      PTR     kanga.honeypot.net.

But I can't get the same from named:

$ dig -t ptr -x 10.0.5.16

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 56485
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;16.5.0.10.in-addr.arpa.                IN      PTR

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
10.in-addr.arpa.        10800   IN      SOA     10.in-addr.arpa. 
nobody.localhost. 42 86400 43200 604800 10800

So, why isn't named directing that query to the configured forwarder?  I'm 
99.9% certain this has been working recently.
