Question on use of Forwarders and a lame deligation

I am trying to create a situation where my internal DNS infrastructure can 
do a query for a domain that is an external partner. The plan is to create 
deligation records on the root to point to a secondary DNS server that in 
turn has a forward to the perimeter DNS of the partner.
The goal is to support non-recursive queries on the root, but recursive 
queries on the forwarder. I understand that the root deligation seems lame, 
but I am hoping that the referal will enable the client to resolve the 
partner DNS domain via the forward.

Do you think this will work, or is there a better solution?
