problems w/forwarders

Hello, I just upgraded to bind8.2.2p5 from 4.9.4p1.  we have separate 
nameservers resolving external addresses so our internal servers forward all 
requests to them. we had the entry:

forwarders      198.51.251.12 198.51.251.13
options forward-only

in named.boot and after named-bootconf we had:

options {
directory "/named/directory";
forwarders {
                xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
                xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
        };
        forward only;
};

in named.conf and now no external addresses are being resolved.  If I switch 
back to the old version of named and named.boot things work fine.  Any 
ideas?  Are there any different requirements for forwarders in v8 that might 
be causing this to fail?  I even put 3 entries for each address in case it 
was timing out but still no luck.  Thanks in advance for whatever help I 
get.
