If you just turn off the forwarders in that zone with forwarders{};
then it will look for a DNS server in the normal way, and recurse to
that.  Allegedly - I actually didn't do it that way, because I didn't
want to have it find the "external" servers.  To make sure, I put the
addresses of the DNS servers for other internal domains in the
forwarders{} list.

	zone "other.alt" {
		type forward;
		forward only;
		forwarders { 172.16.20.100; };
	};

	zone "20.16.172.in-addr.arpa"	IN	{
		type forward;
		forward only;
		forwarders { 172.16.20.100; };
	};
