Setting up a slave server.

[Kevin Darcy]

So how did you come to the conclusion that it "is acting like a 
forwarding server"? If you're basing that on the "Forwarding source 
address is ..." informational message, then be aware that that message 
has nothing to do with "forwarding", as you would specify if in 
named.conf. It's just the address/port from which it issues queries in 
order to resolve names.

                                                                         
                                             - Kevin
