Network setup:

  [external_DNS_1]       [external_DNS_2]
     38.23.12.1             38.25.12.1
        |                      |
        |                      |
        ------------------------
                   |
                   |
               33.33.33.1
         [Red Hat 4.0 firewall]
               10.0.0.1
                   |
                   |
               10.0.0.2
           [Internal DNS server]
                   |
                   |
 [Internal hosts point to 10.0.0.2 in resolv.conf]

What should a forwarders declaration contain if I am setting up an
internal DNS server on a network secured by RH 4.0 with ipfw? Should
it be something like:

  forwarders 10.0.0.1 38.23.12.1 38.25.12.1

Basically, should the firewall appear in the forwarders line? If not 
how is the route established from the internal DNS to the external 
servers?
