recursion and forward zones

[Jack Tavares]

Hi

I am trying to setup a forwarding zone. (bind9.2.3, linux)
By default I have "recursion no;" set in the global
options.

i set up the forwarding zone, but the only
way I can get it to work is to turn recursion on.
Or more accurately, comment out the 
recursion no;

statement, which runs the default behaviour of allowing
recursion.

It would seem to me that recursion and forwarding are
different features and that disabling one should
not disable the other.

A google search doesn't turn up anything that says
one way or the other.

Thanks
