Looking at this further:

forward only;
forwarders { 192.168.10.10; };

If I do not set 'forward only', it will try the forwarder first and if
it fails it will do the lookup itself.  If this is right it suits my
purpose perfectly.  If the forwarder is down it will fall back and do
the lookup itself.  Is that right?
