Hi Guys,

Thanks, to Lars Hecking, Crist Clark and James Zhao for their quick
response.  The fix was to take out the forwarders options in my
/etc/named.conf file, which seems to have fixed the issue I was having.
Also, the secret rndc_key that I posted is not the one
I am using :) but thanks for pointing it out.  That was copied straight from
the howto but changed in my actual implementation.

Thanks again for your response,
Simran H.
