If your recursive resolving name server is different from your
authoritative name server - as it should be - then there is a Step 4,
which is to insert "forward" zone declarations for these zones into your
recursive resolving name server.

Then again, since you're already munging the configuration anyway, you
could insert the zone definitions into the resolving name server ...
but, nahhh, that really defeats predictability ["if I got hit by a
truck, could they figure it out?"].
