I finally updated my desktop from 5.5-RELEASE to 6-STABLE. This got me a new 
named.conf, which I modified to run named as a local resolver, like I had 
before:

listen-on       { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on-v6    { ::1; };
forward only;
forwarders {
     192.168.8.1;
};

Everything else is default. However, with this default configuration, named 
will not resolve any hosts of my local domain (my.domain), which uses 
addresses in the 192.168.8 subnet. My dns server on 192.168.8.1, running 
6.2-RELEASE, has a very simple dynamic dns setup: a zone "my.domain" and a 
reverse zone 8.168.192.in-addr.arpa which are both dynamically updated by 
dhcpd.

To make this work again, I had to delete everything in the default named.conf 
from "/*      Slaving the following zones from the root [...]" 
to "zone "ip6.int"                  { type master; 
file "master/empty.db"; };".

I'm a DNS n00b, but I suspect that such drastic measures shouldn't be required 
and somehow my setup is flawed. What can I do to make this work right?


Cheers,
