Your internal DNS servers should query external DNS servers for all
requests to non-master domains. If you are using bind, make sure the
allow-recursion command in the options section of named.conf includes all
internal ip addresses.

Also update your named.root by downloading (via FTP) the update from:

FTP.RS.INTERNIC.NET /domain/named.root

Your named.conf should look something like the following (not including
your unique zones that you are registering as Master):

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        allow-recursion { 172.16.0.0/16; }; assuming 172.16.0.0/16 is used
        recursive-clients 10000;
        tcp-clients 10000;

};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};

Good luck,

Paul Borghese
