Queries will be forwarded to these to name servers rather than be
resolved locally. Commonly used on internal servers to handle queries
for external information.

Accept and respond to queries received for these addresses. The first is
in private address space, indicating it is on a server in a NATed
address space. The second is loopback.

The configuration is intended for a local server answering
authoritatively for internal, NATed addresses and forwarding all other
queries to servers in public space.
