Using Existing DNS server

I have a bind server running already, so I setup plexconnect on it and wanted to use my existing DNS server.  I created a zone for trailers.apple.com and it works!!!  However, now everything else trying to get to apple fails (App Store, Updates, etc).  I setup my zone first so it was apple.com, trailers.apple.com worked great (only entry I made) but everything else going to apple failed.  Thinking maybe I could limit what hits it, I changed that zone to trailers.apple.com.  Now when I do a host lookup, everything looks good:

 

 

tiny-mac-2:~ $ host trailers.apple.com
trailers.apple.com has address 172.16.11.3 <-- This is my DNS server and where plexConnect is running.
tiny-mac-2:~ $ host www.apple.com
www.apple.com is an alias for www.isg-apple.com.akadns.net.
www.isg-apple.com.akadns.net is an alias for www.apple.com.edgekey.net.
www.apple.com.edgekey.net is an alias for e3191.dscc.akamaiedge.net.
e3191.dscc.akamaiedge.net has address 96.17.237.15
e3191.dscc.akamaiedge.net has IPv6 address 2600:1406:1f:183::c77
e3191.dscc.akamaiedge.net has IPv6 address 2600:1406:1f:189::c77
tiny-mac-2:~ $ 
 
However, when I try to browse in any browser (tried several different ones) to www.apple.com, it's unable to find the server.
 
What am I missing in my DNS configuration to get it to forward everything but trailers.apple.com on?

Hmm, nevermind, I rebooted my computer and everything seems to be working fine.  I probably should have killed mDNSResponder and seen if that cleared everything up first before rebooting.  Oh well, it works now using bind and I'm happy! :D

Yeah caching is great until you forget it is there :slight_smile:
