I don't know whether bind has an option to always query the forwarders 
in the order given.

A possible alternative would be run bind listening on MAXNS (3 on FC4) 
ports with each port's server having only one forwarder.  Then 
resolv.conf could contain MAXNS nameserver entries; one for each of the 
different ports.  The "only" hitch is that the man page for resolv.conf 
(on FC4) doesn't mention anything about how to use different ports in 
resolv.conf.
