    I have BIND working on Windows Server 2003. i want to forward my queries to another server. Recursion is working but forwarding is not working. can u guide me to set it. i've given the following in the options:

    options {
    directory "c:\named\zones";
    allow-transfer { none; };
    forward only;
    forwarders { 8.8.8.8 ; };
    recursion no;

    };

    is the format for forwarding correct in the above.

    if not what is the format. Am i to give any port number in the forwarders line? Does forwarding have any particular port number?

    Thank You in advance....
