Thanks for the answer but:

      In the example i post yesterday: on my server1 the recursion is
      enabled (recursion yes), but the server1 can't recurse because i
      stop it on firewall and it can't contact the outside.

      You say "Don't use forwarding from a recursive server to a
      non-recursive server" but when my server1 is recursive (and the
      firewall allow it to contact the outside), and server2 don't
      recurse because in it's conf recursion is set to no, when i ask
      my server1 about ftp.example.com <ftp://ftp.example.com> (dig @0
      ftp.example.com <ftp://ftp.example.com>) , server1 forward the
      query to server2 which answer by the CNAME www.abc.com
      <http://www.abc.com> and then server1 recurse to find the IP of
      www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com>. and everything works fine.

   *
      you say "If server 2 is auth-only or otherwise can't resolve the
      address of www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com/>, then forwarding a
      query to it is not going to work." No as i say when server1
      really recurse ( recursion yes, and the firewall allow the
      server1 to contact outside) and server2 don't recurse (recursion
      no) all is ok: server1 forward the query to server2 which answer
      by the CNAME www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com/> and then server1
      recurse to find the IP of www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com/>. and
      everything works fine.
   *
      You say "then using a stub zone for example.com
      <http://example.com/>will work", why i will use a stub zone
      since  a forward do the same thing expected.

And my question is always this:
forward only; as i read means a recursive query, in other term a query with the RD bit is enabled. which means that when my server1 (which has recursion yes but can't recurse because the firewall don't allow it to contact the outside, which finally means server1 can't recuse) ask server2 about ftp.example.com <ftp://ftp.example.com>, server2 will normally make all the work means he read on it's zone, then find the CNAME, then make a recursion to resolve the CNAME and finally send the IP to server1.
why server2 don't recurse to find the IP of www.abc.com?
According to your own words: "server2 don't [sic] recurse because in it's [sic] conf recursion is set to no". There's your answer.

Why are you dealing with such screwy configs anyway? If you need to resolve things from the Internet, then you need to have a resolution path to the Internet (either directly talking to Internet nameservers, or some forwarding chain -- hopefully as short as possible, preferably 0-length -- to something that can query Internet nameservers directly). If, on the other hand, you need to resolve something internal, then you only need to have an authoritative source of that information internally. Why are you complicating things more than they need to be? Setting recursion and then blocking it via a firewall? What purpose does that serve?

    If recursion is disabled, forwarding doesn't happen. I think
    you've confused some terms and configurations.

    Don't use forwarding from a recursive server to a non-recursive
    server. Use a stub zone instead, if you can't rely on the
    recursion process to find the correct server to query.

    If server 2 is auth-only or otherwise can't resolve the address of
    www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com>, then forwarding a query to it is
    not going to work. However, if server 1 is a caching server and is
    able to resolve www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com>, then using a
    stub zone for example.com <http://example.com> will work; server 2
    will send the CNAME record to server 1, and then server 1 will
    resolve the final address record on its own.

    Hi,
    i have a server called server1 that is acting as a cache server(
    recursion none). And i forward the zone example.com
    <http://example.com> to server2 which has recursion enabled and
    master on some zone like example.com <http://example.com>.
    this is the forwarding zone on server1:
    zone "example.com <http://example.com>" {
            type forward;
            forward only;
            forwarders { IP_of server2;  };
    };
    and server2 is master of the zone example.com <http://example.com>:

    zone "example.com <http://example.com>" {
            type master;
            file "master/db.example.com";
    };
    BUT the problem is here:
    db.example.com <http://db.example.com>:
    ....
    $ORIGIN example.com <http://example.com>.
    www                       A        1.2.3.4
    ftp                          CNAME www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com/>
    server1 can resolve www.example.com <http://www.example.com/>,
    but can't resolve ftp.example.com <ftp://ftp.example.com> since
    the server2 sends the answer which is www.abc.com
    <http://www.abc.com/> and not the IP, and my server1 can't make
    recursion to resolve www.abc.com <http://www.abc.com/>.
    why?
    from server1 when i dig on server2: dig @IP-server2
    www.example.com <http://www.example.com/> it sends to me the IP,
    all is OK!!! but with a forwarding statement it sends only the CNAME
    server1 is bind9.6-ESV-R4  et server2 bind-9.4.2
    Thanks.

        With a static-stub zone, you would get an iterative query.
        Forwarding always results in a recursive query.

        How are you determining that your server is sending an
        iterative query?

        Can we (the list) see your named.conf?

        Hi
        from the book DNS and Bind 5th edition [french] (o'reilly)
        I read that the forward with the mode first sends a
        recursive query to the servers on the forwarders list, but
        as i see it only sends an iterative query. Also with forward
        only it send an itérative query.
        So forward first send an itérative or recursive query?
        And how i can send a recursive query with the statement
        forward ( without using static-stub)
        I'm using bind-9.6-ESV-R4
        Thanks.
