Npe, that is the syntax to forward everything:

forward-zones-recurse=.=9.9.9.9;1.1.1.1

Leads to:

Aug 24 22:00:33 Redirecting queries for zone '.' with recursion to: 9.9.9.9:53, 1.1.1.1:53

It basically turns a full recursor into just a cache. Plus you are now
depdendent on the forwarded-to resolvers. So there are drawbacks.
