[KLUG Members] unable to get dns lookup on a couple sites

[Rusty Yonkers]

The problem is not with my dns server responding with what it has in
it but that when my server gets a request outside the zone it cannot
find the other domain.  My domain is olympia-gr.com and I am trying
to get to knowledgenet.com.  That is what is not working.  For some
reason when my DNS server is checking the root servers it is not
finding out about knowledgenet.com.  Other servers (outside my
network) are not having any problem getting there however.
