Thank you.  Two new questions:

1.  How will that "global" forward interact with a forward-zones-file, 
which has specific servers for internal domains?

2.  I tried the harder method - creating a root-hint file using 
8.8.4.4.  Other than convenience, or lack thereof, does this work 
differently that the forward-zone-recurse parameter?
