hint file versus forwarded

[Armin Safarians]

Hello all, I have a quick question for you all.

We have two level of dns. internal and external. Today we forward any
queries that is not known by the internal dns servers to the external
dns servers and they point to the root servers with the hint file for
internet queries.

The question is how is that different/better/worst than having the hint
file on the internal server point to the external dns.
Hint file versus forwarders.

Thanks,
AMS :-)
