pure DNS forwarder

Dear BIND gurus,

By any change, is it somehow possible to configure BIND as a pure 
forwarder like this:

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        forwarders { <another server>; };
        forward only;
};

// END OF /etc/named.conf

and so that it will not clear the AA (Authoritative Answer) flag in 
responses from <another server> that have the AA flag set?

I understand this is odd but anyways?

Actually, I think even DNS-agnostic redirection would do the trick for 
me, but cannot find a reliable readily available solution for both TCP 
and UDP. Any ideas?

(BIND 9.3.4-P1, Solaris)

Thank you,
Vasiliy
