Why would you expect that? Do you mean that if you had an
allow-recursion statement that listed the only clients who were allowed
to request recursion, you'd expect it to ignore it? "recursion no" is
just a shorthand for "allow-recursion { none; }".
The way to think about forwarding zones and global forwarders statements
is that they simply tell the server to query specific IP's rather than
(or ahead of) the delegation records *if* it needs to recurse. But when
recursion is disabled, this "if" doesn't apply.
