forward inside master zone

	Canceling forwarders:

	options {
		forward only;
		forwarders { 1.2.3.4; };
		...
	};

	zone "example.com" {
		type master;
		file "example.com";
		forwarders { };
	};

	example.com:
	@	SOA ...
		NS  ns1
		NS  ns2
	sub	NS  ns1.sub
		NS  ns2.sub
	...

	If you go to lookup "host.sub.example.com" the server will use
	ns1.sub.example.com and ns2.sub.example.com to obtain the answers
	rather than using the forwarder specified in the options.

	Similarly if you specify forwarders it will use them rather than
	the nameservers in the delegation.

	Mark
