In BIND you're able to do the following :

 zone "foo.com" {
         type forward;
         
         forwarders {
                 192.168.0.10;
         };
 };
 
which tells bind that whenever it receives a request for anything for
the domain foo.com, to pass the query onto the given IP address

Is this referred to as a "forwarding resolver" ??
