If the internal DNS can't reach the outside world directly you
may wish to set it up as a forwarder to anothe DNS server:


sirius% more /etc/namedb/named.conf 
// $FreeBSD: src/etc/namedb/named.conf,v 1.6.2.1 2000/07/15 07:49:29 kris Exp $

options {
        directory "/etc/namedb";

        forward only;
        forwarders {
                194.242.128.1; 194.242.128.2;
        };
};
