Well, from what I read (I can't remember where), if I use views to do 
this with only a single instance running, the problem arises that even 
though the 'external' (requests for authoritative answers) clients can 
and will get responses from the caching side of the server if the result 
they are after is already cached.

I want the two services to be completely disparate, and more precise, 
I'd like to have the recursive instance to have to query the 
authoritative instance for a result from the same box.

I have this setup already working fine. I just can't get it to start 
properly with both instances :)

If I am missing something, and you have a config example, it would be 
appreciated.

Steve
