[GRLUG] BIND configuration for LAN

[Rick Vargo]

George,

If the zone is locally defined on the machine running bind (either 
master or slave) it will not use forwarders for that domain because it 
thinks it is authoritative. You can however setup the zone in question 
to be dynamic and pull the info from no-ip using a script of sorts.

You may try adding both the local IP and the IP of no-ip's DNS servers 
to your resolv.conf file. This may or may not work. If it does there 
will be a delay as it queries named on your local box first for the IP 
address.
