Steve,

I'd check two things:

1. Check the "controls" line in your nameserver's /etc/named.conf file.
Search on "THE CONTROLS STATEMENT" in 'man named.conf' for guidance.

2. Local systems should not have to exit your LAN and return for
nameservice resolution. Therefore their /etc/resolv.conf files should
contain the line:

	nameserver 172.16.64.169

rather than 206.xxx.xxx.xx6. Also, their network interfaces should be
configured to point to the default gateway for your LAN (172.16.64.1 or
whatever).

These settings assume that your firewall/router performs network address
translation services between the 206.xxx.xxx.0 and 172.64.64.0 networks.
If NAT service is done by another router, the settings might be different.

Hope this helps...
