Recursive queries are only sent in two cases:

1. When a stub resolver is querying the caching servers it's configured 
to use.

2. When a DNS server is following "forwarders" directives.

When a caching server is following NS records, the records are supposed 
to point to authoritative servers, and recursion is never requested.
