Yes - for now I´m only working with a hints zone (without forwarders). But
it´s just for testing... 

Next time I want to replace the bind 4.9.7 server in a more complex
environment (incl. firewall) by a bind 8.2.x server, where we need forwarding.

Why is the hints zone needed for forwarding? Must the hints zone point
to the forwarder (i. e. firewall) instead of the root servers?

Anybody who can help me with this?
Thanks!
