Recursion off\forward

[Nick Allum]

We are running a bind 9.2.4 on a Solaris 10 box for internal only use.
Here is the senario.
 
When I have rescursion off and I have the following statement 

zone "developmentrim.com" {
        type forward;
        forwarders { 10.222.222.22; };
};
 
and I perform a lookup for developmentrim.com I do not get a response
 
however I can perform the same lookup against the 10.222.222.22 with a
positive response.
---
I then turn recursion on and it work fine.
 
Is there a way to have recusion off and a forward zone working?
 
Thanks
