recursive - authoritative server is not there to resolve remote hostnames, if
it doesn't provide recursion.
(well, it COULD try to resolve just as it resolves NS IPS for sending
notifies, but that's different). 

resolving on authoritative server could in fact help, and wouldn't need protocol
change at all, but the problem above is crucial (what would you do in case
of failure? refuse whole zone?)
