The problem probably pre-existed your upgrade; the only thing that's new
is that it is now being reported in your logs. Like the message says,
your forwarder is non-recursive. This means that your forwarder is not
willing to forward queries for your server -- the only answers available
from that server are records from its authoritative zones or which
happen to be in its cache. So you may not always be able to resolve what
you need to resolve. Either get the forwarder to turn on recursion, or
(preferably) try to do without forwarding at all, if you possibly can.
