RedHat How to create master+forwarder dns server in Linux?

Hi Team
I have created one new dns server in lab and its working properly.
Earlier we were using another dns server for lab pc's as 10.20.30.xx. which is outside the lab premises.
now issue with newly created as its not resolving query as previous. I am told by some to use forwarder option for this.
I want to use previous dns server as forwarding if newly can't resolved the queries
so i am looking to create master+forwarder dns server at new dns server so we could get easily replication.

can anyone clarify how to create forwarder option in named.conf at newly server?

By "forwarder" DNS server i suppose you mean a "caching" DNS server. I am sure you find tons of documents by searching $SearchMachine for the correct term. I tried "setup caching DNS server how-to" in Google and was successful.

Further sources of information are the documents accompanying the BIND software.

I hope this helps.
