Forwarders issue in Bind 9

[menace212]

Does anyone know the option for forwarders in Bind 9...I attempted to configure forwarders in the named.conf, but the configuration won't accept this option...I'm pretty sure I have the config's right

forwarders {
1.1.1.1;
1.1.1.2;
};

But I'm when restart the service it gives me an error...
Basically what I'm trying to to do is any resolution not answered by my DNS server should forward it on to these DNS servers in the forwards list....

Looks ok. Is it inside the "options" block?

Yes, it needs to be inside "options", e.g.:

options {
# Other statements here, e.g. directory
forwarders {
1.1.1.1;
1.1.1.2;
};
};
