Forwarders and delegations

[Alec.Barea at sita.int]

Hi there,

One thing i would like to clarify : When does bind start to use the "forwarders"
option? According to the documentation it's used when the server cannot find a
response. What does that mean?
Lets take a practical exemple:
- 1 server configured with the "forwarders" option
- on this server a zone file with a delegation to another server

If you ask the server for something in the delegated zone, will the server first
ask the delegated server or the forwarders?
