It will respond to DNS queries while the master server is running but
when the master server is not running is stops responding.

So how did you come to the conclusion that it "is acting like a=20
forwarding server"? If you're basing that on the "Forwarding source=20
address is ..." informational message, then be aware that that message=20
has nothing to do with "forwarding", as you would specify if in=20
named.conf. It's just the address/port from which it issues queries in=20
order to resolve names.
