I thought the working assumption of this thread was that the nameserver 
in question was authoritative for the root zone. If so, there would be 
no root hints. Other than that small correction, yes, the same 
delegation records which are required for forwarding, would, as it 
happens, be used to the resolve the query in a forward-first failover 
scenario, just as if no forwarding had been defined in the first place.
