forward zone

Um, that would be "forwarders", not just "forward". And the zone needs to be of "type forward". And one may wish to
set "forward only" as well, depending on the reason for the forward zone -- if you're using forwarding because you
lack full connectivity to the relevant DNS servers, then use "forward only", but if you have full connectivity and are
just using forwarding to enhance performance, use "forward first" or just don't specify any forwarding mode at all,
since "forward first" is the default mode. E.g.

zone "example.com" {
    type forward;
    forward only; // or "forward first"
    forwarders {
        x.x.x.x;
        y.y.y.y;
    };
};
