This is natural, unless you specifically enter the zones for 192.168.8.*=20
(forward and reverse) in your client DNS server (as slave or forward zones,=
=20
see the bind manual for the latter, which I'd recommend in your case).
The explanation is simple: how is (your local) bind supposed to know which=
=20
server to query for those domains, as the (public internet) root name serve=
rs=20
won't reply for them (zones always take precedence over forwarders, so if y=
ou=20
have a zone for ".", i.e. everything, in your named.conf, your forwarder is=
=20
never queried for anything), and it has no other info on=20
8.168.192.in-addr.arpa than to resursively look it up starting from a root=
=20
name server, which won't answer but with a NXDOMAIN response.
If you remove the hints, there's only a forwarder left in your configuratio=
n,=20
which in turn is always queried, and which can also properly resolve your=20
domains.
Hope this explains stuff.
