Unfortunately, the term "split DNS" means different things to different 
people.  We (as in Acme Byte & Wire) use it to mean two different views of 
the same name space, typically an internal, complete view and an 
Internet-accessible, pared-down "shadow zone".  You can't do that with 
forwarding--for now it takes at least two name server processes to present 
two different views of the same zone.

Zones of type forward do let you send queries for different domain names to 
different name servers.
