I run BIND locally on my OS X machine, to enable wildcard Apache vhosts, which requires setting the DNS server for all network interfaces to 127.0.0.1.
This works great, but means when I am on a network which uses an internal DNS server to route special (i.e. .companyname) URLs to a server on the network, the lookup fails.
I tried adding both 127.0.0.1 and the DHCP provided DNS server, but this doesn't work either.
Is there a way to make BIND use the DHCP DNS server for requests it cannot resolve locally?
