I guess i can put it like:

allow-recursion is an instruction to the server when receiving requests
for domains it is not authoritive for. That is why it doesn't make any
sense to put it in a local zone, since it is authoritive for it.

fetch-glue is more or less the same story. It is only for responses it 
receives for non local zones.

I always put an 

	allow-transfer { IP_OF_SERVER; };

to keep others to transfer the zone.
