bind - forwarders

[Kevin Darcy]

I am not completely sure what you are asking. However, be aware that in
BIND 8.2.3, forwarders are selected based on how fast they respond to queries.
This is different from previous BIND versions, where the forwarders were tried
sequentially according to the order in which they were listed in the forwarders
{ } clause.
