Hello,

In Microsoft DNS on Windows 2000 I want to create something similar to
the below:

zone "blah.com" {
type forward;
forwarded { 1.1.1.1 } ;
};

I want to forward based on 1 zone. I do not want to forward the entire
DNS server. Any clue on how to achive the following?

Thank you!

This would require conditional forwarding, Windows 2000 does not support
conditional forwarding. Windows Server 2003 supports conditional forwarding.
 
w2k does not support the notion of forward zones. w2k3 does.
As a workaround, you could setup blah.com as a secondary zone on your dns
server if you can get the primary to add your IP to its' list of allowed
secondaries.

Tough. You cannot do that. Use Microsoft's DNS server from Windows
NT Server 2003.
