Subject:   Bind9 Issue

I bought a domain for my gaming clan and installed bind9 specifically
for the views feature.  The DNS machine is my home router and our gaming
machine is on another network and physically 60 miles away and is nat'ed
on a lan.  The lan the game server is on has it's own DNS machine, but
is located behind the same public ip.

I have DNS setup up so that any requests for www.gameserver.org (name
different to protect the ignorant) that come from that lan get the ip
192.168.1.20, the machines internal ip.  When logged into the game
server, I can do a dig www.gameserver.org <my DNS ip> and the correct ip
comes back.  The problem is that When I dig www.gameserver.org @<the
lan's DNS machine>, it responds with the public ip, not the internal and
therefore won't work for the lan.

Talking with workers at that site, their DNS forwards to just the root
servers, not their local ISP DNS.

Any ideas on how I can track this down and get the internal ip listed
for just the users of the lan?
