Bind help

I am trying to setup a local dns server. I am running fedora and was going to use bind.

I need to set up a forwarder because all my clients will use this dns server only. I was wondering what needs to go into the named.conf or named .custom for this to work. I was using the redhat-dns-config but it doesn't support any advance options.

Iwould like the dns server to forward all dns queries, that are not locally set, to my cable providers dns addresses.

I think the syntx is something like this but i am not sure?

zone "home.cgl" forwarders {68.63.176.5;68.63.176.6}
type master;

If anyone is using this scenario and could paste their named.conf it would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks in advance!

Code:

options {
  forwarders {
    dns_ip_1;
    dns_ip_2;
    etc;
  };
};

zone "." {
  type hint;
  file "path/file";
};

zone "mydomain.tld" {
  type master;
  file "path/file2";
};

That should get you started.
