Master for root and per-zone forwarding

Kevin, thanks for the reponse.  I'm glad I'm not going crazy.  Out of 
curiosity, is this BIND 8 requirement of delegating AND type forwarding 
documented anywhere?  Also, do you know what happens if your delegation is 
to different servers than are listed in your forwarders list in the type 
forward zone?  Which servers actually get sent the query?

Thanks.
