Are the above addresses examples or the ones that you will actually
be using? If the latter, I assume that you do not have direct access
to the Internet root name servers and that the only systems permitted
to perform external DNS queries are those listed in the forwarders
option. If this is the case, I would add the following option.
forward only;
This will eliminate attempts to contact the Internet root name servers.
