I see Darren already found it, but in case anyone else was looking for
this; the lack of being able to use multiple forwards for a zone is
noted at ticket 81 on the PowerDNS Trac site:

This has been a deal breaker for a handful of our recursive boxes as
well, so we plan to keep running BIND on those until this is resolved.
