Scott, James,
FWIW, on my nameserver I do not use a forwarders line and I
am not experiencing this issue.
Is there a reason that you want/need to use that option
in your configuration?
I understand what it does, i'm just wondering what you're
trying to accomplish by forwarding all non-authoritative
queries to a go-between DNS server instead of directly
to the root-servers?
