Problem with named forwarders

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with DNS for external websites. I'm running OpenBSD currently, for named.

Internal sites are working perfectly, however if I try to get out to any outside website, it won't resolve. The results of nslookup are:
Quote:
nslookup google.com
Server: [the correct name of the dns server]
Address: [the correct IP of the dns server]

Name: google.com
Served by:
- G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
- C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
My named.conf file looks like this:

Quote:
acl clients {
localnets;
};

options {
version "";
listen-on { any; };
allow-recursion { clients; };
forwarders { [dns ip 1]; [dns ip 2]; };
};

logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "standard/root.hint";
};

zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "standard/localhost";
allow-transfer { localhost; };
};

zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "standard/loopback";
allow-transfer { localhost; };
};

[then our Master zones, which are working]
I've tried using the given dns ips from our isp, also tried using 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2, both give the same result.

I'm not too familiar with dns, so I figure there is something little I'm missing, that I haven't found yet. If you need any other configs, let me know.

Thank you!
