I'm reluctant to file a bug without first verifying that the forwarders 
are in fact supposed to be called in order.  I've looked through the 
copy of the BIND 9 Administrator's Reference Manual included with FC4, 
but I couldn't find any explicit statement about whether forwarders MUST 
be tried in the order given or MAY be tried in some arbitrary/random order.

Do you know where this would be spelled out?

Thanks,
