Small DNS forwarding question

I set up an internal DNS zone on my server which works perfectly. My server is also forwarding requests for another internal zone to another server, which works as well nicely.

Now, the issue is, every request I send to an unknown, non-internal domain takes a lot longer (about 3 to 7 seconds), while if I chose the other server as my main server, the answer is almost immediate (no cache issue here, I choose other domain names for each try). I think my Xserve is getting connected to the root servers to get its info, which I don't want.

So, my domain being (example) myzone.top, managed on my server on 10.95.1.35, I would like every other request sent to another server with IP 10.95.1.21. How should I do this ? I tried to add a forward statment in named.conf, with no success (and I am not sure that is really the best way). I also added my secondary DNS address directly in the Network System pref on the XServe, but it does not help.


Thanks for your help,
