BIND (is there anyting else?)

Letting bind/named query a specific DNS server for only one specific domain
Add to the file /etc/bind/named.conf.local
:
zone "mydomain.com" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { 192.168.0.2; 192.168.0.6; }; };
Of course you need to replace 'mydomain.com' as well as the 2 ip addresses in the 'forwarders'-line.

host -t txt -c CHAOS version.bind localhost
named - options {version “DNS daemon”;};
host -t txt -c CHAOS hostname.bind localhost

audit dns
kernel: audit(1209076817.081:16): type=1503 operation=“inode_create” requested_mask=“w::” denied_mask=“w::” name=“/etc\\/bind/xxxxx.com.hosts.jnl” pid=16561 profile=“/usr/sbin/named” namespace=“default”
So I had a look in:
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named
and changed this line:
/etc/bind/ r,
to this:
/etc/bind/ rw,
