forward first: iterative or recursive query

[iharrathi.ext at orange-ftgroup.com]

Hi
from the book DNS and Bind 5th edition [french] (o'reilly)
I read that the forward with the mode first sends a recursive query to the servers on the forwarders list, but as i see it only sends an iterative query. Also with forward only it send an itérative query.
So forward first send an itérative or recursive query?

And how i can send a recursive query with the statement forward ( without using static-stub)
I'm using bind-9.6-ESV-R4

Thanks.
Issam HARRATHI.
